Any time you move a document between word processors that use different formats--for example, reading a Word file into StarOffice--check the document to see how well the conversion worked.
Although we've had good luck with the Word filter in StarOffice (which is recommended for most uses in this hour), you might have problems with some features.
Table 5.1 shows the key import and export filters available in StarOffice, and how you can use them.
Tip - In all word processors, some conversion filters work better than others. Importing one type of file might work well, but importing another type might leave a document full of errors. |
Table 5.2 lists some things that you can check to see how converted documents have fared, as well as some problems you might encounter after importing and exporting files.
