OpenOffice did make some good strides with Version 3.0. What version of Word are you using?

worker201:
I currently don't own Word.  I am working with a Word document created by someone I don't know.  A someone who needs to learn InDesign or Quark!

Lead Head:
Do you know what version of word it was created with? If its a newer one, such as Word 2003 or 2007, you might have more luck converting it to an older version like 2000

worker201:
There is no way of finding out what version was used to create the document.  My guess is that it was 2005 or earlier - it was created by a municipal government (although they could contract out for document services).  However, since this document uses really deep magic to display things, it's understandable that it doesn't convert cleanly, and it probably wouldn't be readable in Word 2000.  Anyways, programs tend to be backward compatible, but never forward compatible.

Lead Head:
What exactly is on this word doc, is just just charts and graphs?
