Converting a Word document to a more open or portable format
Posted: 2007-01-03 08:55pm
During my work term, all I had to use for word processing was MS Word for Mac. I have a work term report that I wrote for work that also needs to be submitted to my co-op office when I get back to school. The problem is that I no longer use Word, but Open Office, for various reasons, and have given my copy of Word to my sister.
Since my report has numerous equations and specific formating, OO.o doesn't fully read it in properly.
Luckily, my parents have a copy of word on their laptop that can read it. All I need to do is convert it to a format that is portable and will keep all the styles that are currently in the document. I was thinking pdf, but word doesn't seem to want to export it. I don't want to use rtf because I don't want to double check 62 pages for errors, but will if I have to.
Any ideas?
