![]() ![]() I am a wood restoration contractor in Jacksonville, FL. and I use an estimating software for my business which outputs in MS Word format. The program is a little dated, but it suits my purposes just fine. I would like to use open office instead of MS word, because I try to stay away from MS products as much as humanly possible, while still being able to function! I was turned on to open office by a friend about six months ago, and I really like it, but I'm just learning it. The estimating software I use outputs the estimates and contracts in. rtf format, and it seems to open fine with open office, so comparability seems ok. I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but once I'm done editing, what is the best format to save files in, so that my customers have an easy time opening them? I have run into problems with some (not so computer savvy) customers not being able to open my estimates when they are saved as. bmp and some formatting I don't want to lose. I don't want to convert them to nothing but text files, because I lose that presentation. What would you gurus recommend I do? Should I make these into pdf as mentioned above, and completely avoid compatibility with MS word, or the like? How would I go about it? I don't know everything about this software yet.Ĭindy5522 wrote:Could you dumb it down a little please? I am not very computer literate.

Make sure the 'Automatic file name extension' option is checked. It is always safer to work in the native OOo formats (.odt and. ods etc) and then use Save As to save a copy in. xls format if you need to distribute it in MS Office formats. But always then go back to the native OOo version to continue working. Then use the edge of a straightedge razor to scrape the surface almost level with the surrounding veneer. ![]() Wet it with water first to prevent the epoxy from sticking. Price at time of publish: 17 per 12 ounces. Choose from 12-ounce or 1-quart containers. You can even mix stains to create a color of your own. If the people you are sending to do not need to edit the files then it is best to send them a PDF as then no matter what office suite they use it will be possible for them to read and print the files. First, smooth and shape the epoxy with your finger.
