CentOS - May 2005 - OpenOffice Conversion

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

List,

I have a rather unique question, that perhaps can be answered easily
here.I did search google and only came up with one app that does
this exact thing; however, it's an expensive tool. Thusly, not my
cup of tea.

I have need to convert approximately 100 documents in Openoffice's
native format to Microsoft Word's native format. Apparently,
someone's manager wants all of the documents in Word (just this
once) for whatever reason and going back and saving each individual
file as a Word document seems excessive. Does anyone know of a
conversion tool that is native to linux (preferrably) that could do
this? Or even a Windows app would suffice truly.

TIA

You will probably have much better luck on an OOo specific forum/list.
 I would suggest the OpenOffice.orgForum on Macros and API:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewforum.phtml?f=9

And more specifically:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=12922

Also, if you could satisfy this pointy haired boss with PDF and/or
HTML you will probably have an easier time, but maybe there is a way
to get it to a Word doc easily.

Good luck,
Greg
