Hi there,

Any idea if this works on all versions of Linux / Open Office? Or is this just a Red Hat thing?

Thanks!

I do appreciate the help. I used alien to translate to a tar.gz file. I untarred it, and produced a directory named ooo-2.0. Inside ooo-2.0 were two other directories: program and share. Inside program was OdfConverter, an executable. share contained registry which contained modules which contained org which contained openoffice which contained TypeDetection which contained Filter and Types…I gave up. No lib, as you had.

Instead, I took a jab in the dark and executed OdtConverter against a .docx file. It correctly converted it. That’s good enough for me.

Thanks.
