Document Converter

Copies and converts documents into the OpenDocument XML format used by OpenOffice.org.

The wizard converts documents and templates from the binary format from previous OpenOffice.org versions (StarOffice 5.2 and before), as well as documents from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The source files are only read, not edited. New target files are written with the new file name extension in the same or a new folder.

The Document Converter Wizard contains the following pages:

Document Converter Page 1

Specifies whether to convert documents from OpenOffice.org or Microsoft Office, and specifies the document type.

Document converter continuation pages

Specifies, for each template type and document type, the directory to be read from and the directory to be written to.

Document Converter Summary

Displays a summary which shows what will be converted when you click Convert.

Cancel

Clicking Cancel closes a dialog without saving any changes made.

Back

Allows you to view the selections that you made on the previous steps. The current settings will be saved.

Next

Saves the current settings and continues to the next page.

Convert

If you click forward through the dialog, this button is called Next. On the last page the button has the name Convert. The conversion is then performed by clicking the button.
