Opening formula files
In addition to its native format, OpenOffice.org can open the following formula files:
StarMath and MathML (*.mml).
When opening a Word document that contains an embedded equation editor object, if the
option for it is checked in Tools > Options > Load/Save > Microsoft Office then the object
will be automatically converted to an OpenOffice.org Math object.
Saving files
To save a new file:
1) Choose File > Save As.
2) When the Save As dialog (Figure 3) appears, enter the file name and verify the file
type (if applicable).
Note: File names should never have spaces. If you need to separate the file name, use an
underscore (_) between words; for example, file_maint.sxw.
To save an open document, with no need to change the file name, choose File > Save. This
will overwrite the last saved state of the file.
