    File extension for Open Office Writer


    I've been using MSOffice Word for quite some time. I want to switch over to Open Office Writer. Can I save a file that I make in Writer with an docx file extinsion? If not, since I have dozens of files with the docx externsion, which is the best one that I can save my documents to?

    :)

  2. xpsport as a filename

    Yes, when using XPS Document Writer to print it names the file xpsport with no extension.

    If I rename the file and give it the extension .xps I can then read it. I've used XPS Doc.

    Writer in 8.1 with no problem. After updating to W10 every time I use XPS Doc. Writer

    I have to give the document a meaning full name with .xps extension to read it. I've been

    through the deleting and adding the XPS Doc. Writer and driver several times with no

    change. I don't understand how the port name winds up as the file name.

    Microsoft Print to PDF

    Yep, Office 2016 can open/convert some types of PDF to an editable format,

    Here is another tip that will work every time and that most users are unaware of:

    • Make sure file extensions are showing (In File Explorer, on the View Tab, check the box 'File Name Extensions'
    • From any application, click Print
    • Print to the Virtual XPS Document Writer which is in most versions of Windows
    • You will then end up with a document with either a .xps or .oxps extension
    • Change the extension to .zip
    • Extract the the document (now a zip file) to a folder
    • Inside that folder, navigate to: Documents\1\Resources\Images
    • In that folder will be all the original images contained in the PDF

    Glad that worked for you, if you have any more questions, please contact us at MS Community!
