Well, yes - on the Mac I can write an RTF or a PDF. I can also send the file to Zamzar for conversion. But what I am (perhaps foolishly) dreaming of is some kind of Linux self-sufficiency. I bought this machine in the hope of freeing myself from Apple and its likes... On 2015-07-14 10:28 PM, David Collier-Brown wrote:
On the mac, write them out as .rtf files. That's Microsoft's version-independant-mostly format for copying between different versions. Those should be openable on a newer Libre Office.

Dear All,
I just had occasion to open in Libre Office under Ubuntu 15.04 some (externally created) Europass CVs (with extension .doc), and LibreOffice made a real mess of them, overlaying lines over one another, etc. Can anybody suggest a remedy? The obsolete Word on my MacOS 10.4 system reads them perfectly...
