  1. If I click on a DOCX file, it always opens in LibreOffice.


    I have Office 2010 with Win 10 Pro.

    If I click on a DOCX file, it always opens in LibreOffice.

    Here's how I open the DOCX file:

    - R-click on the DOCX file
    - Click Open With
    - MS Word is in the list, but ignore it (see later).
    - Click Choose Another App
    - Click MS-Word
    - Check "Always use this app..." (the earlier option would not display the check box).

    The selected file opens. Close Word.

    L-click on the DOCX file. The file opens in LibreOffice.

    The above actions can be done immediately after a reboot, or a normal boot - but L-click never opens the file in Word.

    I would appreciate any advice.

    Footnote: I like to keep LibreOffice installed and updated, so I can practice occasionally in case MS stop supporting Office 2010.
    Thanks.

    :)

    Unable to open .docx files created in LibreOffice

    Hello, I am using Skydrive also to sync LibreOffice files between my PC and my Windows Phone 7.5.
    The .docx files are the only ones that Windows Phone 7.5 is able to edit.
    I noticed that if a .docx file is created OR modified with Libre Office it cannot be opened on Windows Phone 7.5, and the following error message appears "Can't open "file_name" has been damaged and can't be opened"
    Somebody knows
    > if Windows Phone 7.5 recognizes that the file has been created / modified by Libre Office and stop the use of such file on the phone
    > if it is a compatibility problem between the .docx formats of Word and of Libre Office?
    Any suggestion for a workaround?

    Thanks

    Unable to open .docx files created in LibreOffice

    The situation is as follows

    .docx file created in Word
    > Readable in Word YES
    > Readable in Skydrive PC with WordWebbApp YES
    > Readable in Skydrive mobile with Word mobile YES
    > Readable in LibreOffice YES

    .docx file created in LibreOffice

    > Readable in Word YES
    > Readable in Skydrive PC with WordWebbApp YES
    > Readable in Skydrive mobile with Word mobile NO (can't open)
    > Readable in LibreOffice YES

    .docx file created in WordWebbApp Skydrive

    > Readable in Word YES
    > Readable in Skydrive PC with WordWebbApp YES
    > Readable in Skydrive mobile with Word mobile YES
    > Readable in LibreOffice YES

    .docx filoe created in WordWebbApp PC

    > Readable in Word YES
    > Readable in Skydrive PC with WordWebbApp YES
    > Readable in Skydrive mobile with Word mobile YES
    > Readable in LibreOffice YES

    So it seems that
    > Windows Phone 7.5 recognizes that the file has been created / modified by Libre Office and stop the use of such file on the phone
    OR
    > there is a compatibility problem between the .docx formats of Word mobile and of Libre Office
