Does anyone know how to save an OpenOffice 3.x document as a version 2.4
document? The save as dialog box lists 1.0, but not any of the 2.x's.
I have tried to use other formats (Word '97 for example), but I get
tired of the warnings and it seems like a poor workaround.

Thanks,

off-hand I don't know but, if you don't get an answer here, try the
OpenOffice.org forums. I've found them to be useful in the past.

Who says there is a difference between the .odf OpenDocument format
between 2.4 and 3.x?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specification This
document describes the technical specifications of the OpenDocument
office document standard

http://www.ensode.net/roller/dheffelfinger/entry/openoffice_documents_version_control_with
Standard OpenDocument Text (the default format for OpenOffice.org Writer
since version 2), are nothing but zipped XML files.

Version 1 is different. 2.x and 3.x are the same AFAIK asfarasiknow.

Word 97 is different from the above.

You are correct.

A document saved as 3.x, then opened under 2.4 gets a notice that
something is wrong (I forget the exact wording). So there must be some
differences between 2.x and 3.x.
