.docx converters to .doc

Hi Steven,

I am referring to your first message of 1 October 2009, this one:

If you already have MS's DotNet Framework 2.0 installed (or have the space to install)....

You can use the ODF Converter Integrator:

http://katana.oooninja.com/f/software/odf-...3-installer.exe

And either OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 (Save as Microsoft Office DOC file):

http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.3/index.html

or if your using at least Office 2000, install Sun's ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office:

http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/

I di d everything as you told:

- 1st installed NetFramework 2.0,

- 2nd the Sun plugin (I have Word 2000 installed) and

- 3rd the odf converter integrator.

Everything installed well and seems fine (the odf converter icon is on the docx file), but when I try to open the file there is first a DOSbox that is opening (and closing) and then the follwing error message:

"Warning (odf-converter-integrator)

OdfConverter subprocess returned non-zero retun code = 1".

When I close this message, there is a second one:

"Converted file did not not materialize: C:\[Name of the file].odt"

Any idea where the problem comes from ?

Thank you for your help !

I am assuming you're getting this with only one document? Sounds like the converter pooped out somewhere with that particular document. Bear in mind that the ODF Converter Integrator is really just a GUI for the ODF Translator CommandLine, so I would make sure that you have the latest version of that in the folder that the Converter Integrator is installed in and try it again. If it still poops out report it to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter/support

The latest version of the commandline tools is available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-conver...%20CommandLine/

You'll have to extract the contents of the file you download in the same folder that the Converter Integrator is installed in.

Hey all, I got a message from a user of Office 2000, saying he was having trouble opening Office 2007 documents that were converted using the ODF-converter-integrator. I looked at the system requirements for Sun's ODF plugin and the latest version 3.1 says it requires Windows 2000 or above.

There is an older version available, 1.2 (don't ask me what happened to 2.x) that says it should work with 98.

I've done some minor testing (dug out that old Office 2000 CD) and it will open my documents created in OpenOffice.org 3.1 (Note I'm using XP). With spreadsheets and presentations you have to load Excel/Powerpoint and choose File -- Import ODF....

Sun did not seem to think of template formats, you can change the extension on these to get them to open

OTT -- ODT

OTS -- ODS

OTP -- ODP

Just adding this in case anyone is interested.

Hi Steven,

believe it or not, but I do not do this kind of things, such as trying to open a password protected document.

Not even if you actually encrypted the file and know the password? :unsure:

I was not implying you were doing anything untoward. I thought you possibly had created or were sent such a document, as suggested by jaclaz. :hello:
