I do a fair amount of writing and now have to use Open Office on my Mac Mini. I did have MSWord for Mac and whilst it was a pain to use, I managed to get on with it. I can't have Word any more apparently.
However with OO, I write and edit as I go and it looks just like Word on screen and then when I close it into Documents and then reopen it it appears in a different layout and there is no editing apart from basics. Also it is saved a an .odt file.
In the drop down box for Save As there are several options all baffling to a non techie and I have tried a few of the MSWord prompts but still get the .odt o screen although it appears in Documents as a .doc.
Any clues please?
