Sorry. Too many missing features and clunky UI choices for my tastes. “Go to OpenOffice.org and download a free office suite that does more of what you tell it to do and less of what it supposes you ought to do”

Word said I needed updates, which I did, but now, my resume, which is saved in a .efg format, is now unrecognizable. My entire MIT history, plus all of my work history is gone because of this forum!! Grrrr!!! This will take almost a whole day to recompile, and then several hours to retype. I wish there was another way...

It did a file and said saved however the info was still on the screen. Does this mean that the document was actually still saved? I had made a small document and still did save as.

Go to OpenOffice.org and download a free office suite that does more of what you tell it to do and less of what it supposes you ought to do. Best of all, it naturally defaults to .odt which is an open document format standard that is more advanced than the old .rtf (.doc for MS users) standard. All modern word processors not made by Microsoft can open and save .odt files. And, OpenOffice.org can read .doc files (.wpd and all of that other junk too) so you can convert all of your old document files over to .odt, a format in which they should be accessible as long as digital computing/you exist. >Can I also save as .odt?

Go to OpenOffice.org and download a free office suite that does more of what you tell it to do and less of what it supposes you ought to do.
