Next month any objectives I send out will be in MS Word so if anyone can't open them they need to get that taken care of.

Did not know OO would convert to PDF! Cool feature!

Well I appreceiate all you have done for FSO, but this statement is tandamount to saying to all us guys that don't use MSWORD "it's my way or the highway", while PDF is free and used by almost everyone.

I guess "it's good to be the king"

It never ceases to amaze me why people complain when they are in a minorty instead of fixing the problem themselves. Instead of complaining about not being able to open the document, you could have found something that would. Start here: http://openoffice.idownload.org/?gclid=CIXuspLphZ4CFVw55QodT1hApQ. You will find a word processing program that will handle MS Word.

To CiC's; The same program will convert WORD documents to a PDF format for which the application to open it is easily found.

Just wonder where you get your numbers to say that MS WORD users are in the majority?  Thanks for the link, I will check it out and for future reference it would have been just as easy to provide it sans the insults

Hey BigJim

Keep it up your almost at 500 posts!  

I think using the PDF format is the way to go
What I need to know is what format are the maps in and what programs do you guys use to modify the maps

Cheers,

Oh that is nothing new. Just been doing it that way since 2001. In all those years  never had to convert them before. Then again my objectives have always been lack luster. Nothing fancy or as cool as the other Admin CM's put out. Have always admired their talent in that area.

Having said that, now that I know Open Office can convert them to a PDF I 'might' try that.

LOL ya know daddog years ago I used to open the door and let my dog out to take a dump, now I have to follow him around with plastic bag.  Morel:  things change (from one  to another  )

Sorry fellas, but the only reason not to have any word processing program and or pdf converter application on your system is if it's used only for gaming and nothing else...but then even hard core gamers need both types of applications if they are active in online multiplayer games.

The .doc format has been the most used document format since WordPerfect went under...12+ years ago and there are plenty of freeware programs that will allow you to at least open a .doc file without needing Microsoft Office installed. There are also many many great freeware applications that allow you to turn almost any document file into a pdf file.


That is also true for zip archiving programs that can create/open .rar files...another type of application that most especially gamers should have on their systems.

Open Office rocks! Played with it since Sunday (have before but never in depth) for several hours. Converts to PDF so easily. Love it!
Already made up the objectives and converted all three frames to a PDF file.
