1. You receive a file in foreign file format from email. 2. You open the file directly by double-click. In most cases you get a read-only view on that document. 3. menu:File>SaveAs... File Type: Open Document Text (*.odt) Location: Somewhere in your documents folder. 4. Now you have your personal copy to work with in the native file format of the application you are using which is a good thing. 5. You are done with the file and send it back via menu:File>Send>Email as MS Office Now you have your own working copy in your own document hierarchy, a backup of the incoming file in your inbox and a copy of the outgoing file in your outbox. Next time you receive a new version of the same you start at step 1 and overwrite the old working copy with a new working copy. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
