[Hidden-tech] MAC OS X Office 2008??

[Shel Horowitz]

I found that I didn't need the converter (which 
is apparently quite a resource hog) with Office 
01, because I also have Neooffice installed. When 
I get a docx, it opens in Neooffice (no-cost 
software)

>The Open XML Converter allows you to convert 
>files that were created in Office 2008 for Mac 
>or Office 2007 for Windows so that you can open, 
>edit, and save them in earlier versions of 
>Office for Mac. The Open XML Converter can 
>convert Word documents, Excel workbooks, and 
>PowerPoint presentations that are in the Open 
>XML Format so that you can open and edit the 
>files in Office 2004 version 11.4 or later and 
>Office v. X version 10.1.9 or later. You can 
>choose to convert and open one file, or convert 
>a large number of files.
>The Open XML Converter uses two methods to 
>convert your XML-based files, depending on which 
>version of Office for Mac you have installed. 
>Each conversion method requires that you have 
>the Open XML Converter installed.
>      ⤢     If you are using Office 2004 
>version 11.4 or Office v. X version 10.1.9 or 
>later, you can convert XML-based files by using 
>the Open XML Converter, and then open, edit, and 
>save the converted files in any file format that 
>is compatible with your application.
>      ⤢     If you have Office 2004 version 
>11.5, the Open XML Converter runs in the 
>background so that you can use Office 2004 for 
>Mac to open, edit, and save files that use the 
>Open XML Formats. You can also create new files 
>that use the Open XML Formats.
>Note You can download the Open XML File Format 
>Converter for Mac from the Downloads area on the 
>Microsoft Web site 
>(http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download).

Note: I get over 300 e-mails in a typical day, 
not counting list traffic. In an effort to stay 
sane, I'm only checking this account once or 
twice a day--and please forgive me that I miss a 
lot (including e-mail that simply never arrives). 
If you have something that needs an immediate 
response, please call. And if you don't hear from 
me in a day or two, please call.
