OpenOffice.org OpenXML Translator allows users to import and export Microsoft OpenXML format word processing files in their OpenOffice.org software. It provides necessary support to handle OpenXML-formatted documents successfully.
The OpenOffice.org OpenXML Translator project is a useful tool for anyone dealing with Microsoft* OpenXML-formatted word processing documents (.docx) in OpenOffice.org. It provides support for opening and saving such documents within the OpenOffice.org ecosystem.
To make use of this translator, you will need to have one of the following installed: OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 or later Novell edition for Windows, OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 or later for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and openSUSE 10.1, the OpenOffice_org-2.0 package for SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0, or the OpenOffice_org-2.0.4 package for openSUSE 10.2.
Installation is a relatively simple process. Start by downloading the odf-converter-1.0.0-5.i586.rpm file and saving it to your disk. Next, open a terminal and enter "su" to become the root user, followed by the root password. Navigate to the directory where the saved rpm resides and execute the following command: "rpm -Uvh odf-converter-1.0.0-5.i586.rpm". Once the installation is complete, restart OpenOffice.org if it is currently running.
One important note is that you will need to restart OpenOffice Writer to see the option available on the Load/Save document dialogs. Overall, the OpenOffice.org OpenXML Translator project is a valuable addition to anyone's software library who needs to work with Microsoft OpenXML-formatted documents in OpenOffice.org.
