Saving files
Writer can save to these file formats
In addition to its native formats (.sxw and .stw), Writer can save in these formats:
OpenOffice.org Writer template (.stw)
Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)
Microsoft Word 95 (.doc)
Microsoft Word 6.0 (.doc)
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
StarWriter 5.0 (.sdw)
StarWriter Template (.vor)
StarWriter 4.0 (.sdw)
StarWriter 4.0 Template (.vor)
StarWriter 3.0 (.sdw)
StarWriter Template 3.0 (.vor)
Text (.txt)
Text Encoded (.txt)
HTML (.html; .htm)
Note: The .rtf format is a common format for transferring text files between applications but be
aware of the lack of formating available in that format. It also seems that there is a bug
concerning files saved in the .rtf format that contain images when opened by Microsoft Office.
So the best way to pass a file in writer to a Microsoft Word user is to save it as Microsoft Word
97/2000/XP (.doc).
Calc can save to these file formats
In addition to its native formats (.sxc and stc), Calc can save in these formats:
Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (*.xls; *.xlw)
Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP Template (*.xlt)
Microsoft Excel 95 (*.xls; *.xlw)
Data Interchange Format (*.dif)
dBase (*.dbf)
SYLK (*.slk)
Text CSV (*.csv; *.txt)
StarCalc formats (*.sdc, *.vor)
