I meant that Go-OO (the organization) has such a program, not that it |
| 45 |
is included in the Go-OO build of OpenOffice. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I think it is based on: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/ |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
which is a Windows .NET program for converting between ODF and OOXML formats. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I also found a Novell build: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |

| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Again, I've never tried any of this. I found it easier to install |
| 58 |
Windows in Vmware and be done with it. :) |
