dumb question about odg files and wmf files etc....
Dear Debianists,
I created a flow chart in Open Office 2.0. It is a .odg file. I created it
in Open Office Draw. I sent a copy of it to my pal who I think is a 100%
MSWindows creature....
He emailed me back saying the .odg file was not recognised when he tried to
read it in. I am not sure which MSOffice program he tried to read it in
with.
There is some discussion on the internet about Microsoft putting a odf type
reader/converter onto software like MSWord and Excel etc and I think some
people in the sourceforge world were even trying to help with this a little.
I nosed around on the web and it seems to me that maybe the windows meta
file or even enhanced meta file might be the right format to convert the odg
file into to make it easier for my pal to read it into an MSoffice type
document processing program.
There are websites and software packages that I think can convert an odg
file to a WMF file.
What is the best way to proceed here?
My pal won't have time to install Open Office for windows on his PC. He
will just want to be able to read something into his Msoffice software (e.g.
Microsoft Draw or whatever is similar to that nowadays in Windows land).
Is there a file converter that is preferred by Debian users?
Suggestions welcome.
Regards
Michael Fothergill
