Plus, if you have anyone truly geeky in your organization it will enable anyone to modify using standard CSS and HTML tool. 2005? supports HTML formats and should be universally supported in most major Office alternatives like Libre/Open Office.
Using microsoft word templates with libreoffice windows#
Default Word on Windows has variable support (older none) for HTML, but all Office Word since. So, I instead recommend that you consider converting everything to HTML. MS needs to continually evolve styling and styles particularly in how styles are rendered to motivate people to pay for MS products. IMO you're just throwing good effort over bad when you're talking about trying to standardize on Word "styling." Although not unique to Microsoft, it's one of the major differentiators that separates MS products from others.

I know that there are guides available on line but I find them difficult to use due to the lack of the detailed examples which you often find in a book! As Libre Office has developed out of Open Office I wondered if the basic would be the same? So far the only book I have found is a guide to OpenOffice Basic. In an ideal world some clever person would have written a program to convert visual basic to LibreOffice basic!Īs it is over 30 years since I last wrote programs, in BBC Basic for the 'BBC Computers' ,and things have changed a lot since then, I was looking for a book which might help me translate visual basic into LibreOffice basic. The immediate problem one encounters is that macros in Word are written in Visual Basic whereas Libre Office uses LibreOffice Basic and has very restricted ability to run visual basic. In order to try and bypass these problems I suggested that we look at the possibility of adapting the style guide for use in Libre Office. I am involved in a national project which is heavily dependant for the reporting on a style guide used in Microsoft Word, it is Murphy's Law that said style guide encounters problems with different versions of Word.
