Hi all,

 

Weird One here...I lost my MS Office key and can't be arsed with sorting it tbh.

 

Basically though I have some important stuff to do before tomorrow and I used my Open Office to write it.

 

I read-up that MS don't support .otd files so I exported it as a .pdf too.

 

Basically, anyone with MS Office....would you be kind enough to just check the test file I attached and see if you can decipher either of them.....pleaseeeee :)

 

Otherwise I need to go to work today :( and use the works Computer.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Ady.

As above. Office 07 manages to open it eventually but complains it is corrupt (but manages to recover it) and looks OK, but wouldn't trust it with bigger files as it will probably miss a lot out. PDF appears to open fine

My Office (2013) opened the .odt it without issue and of course the pdf was fine. For compatibility .pdf is always the way to go though as long as the recipient isn't required to edit the file as well...
