convert StarOffice 5.1 documents to word documents.
I am a prior user of Star Office 5.1. I bought a new computer and I am am
now equipped with Microsof Office and Word. I have many letters, procedures, etc. in Starwriter 5.1. I want to convert these to MS word, how do I do this? Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated, thank you. Paul Broadway San Diego, Ca. |

Word will open the documents if you saved the documents to Word format
when you created them. This remains the best option particularly if the formatting is not very simple. I do not know if v5.1 had that feature. If it does, Open the document on the old computer in Star Office and save to word format. Another option is to install the Word "recover text from any file" converter. This filter is not installed during a default install. Re-run setup from the distribution CD or from Control Panel Add/remove programs and elect to install all file converters. Alas, you will lose all document formatting. Someone on microsoft.public.word.conversions might have better ideas. Try posting the question there.

PS
I have checked a few other possibilities. One that works is to install OpenOffice (free) on your new machine. Open the file in that and save to Word format. Tom MSMVP Windows Shell/User |

If I remember correctly, Star Office is capable of saving files in Word format. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7734/stevesig.htm E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk |
