If you use Excel to do all your work in, you are out of luck as Excel has no option for enforcing an encoding when saving a file as CSV. The choice of spreadsheet in this case is OpenOffice or LibreOffice. All is lost then? Not really, you can create your own file and save it with a known encoding. Usually the person creating the file doesn't know either. The closest to come to determining a file's encoding is an educated guess or ask the person who created the file. Programs cannot tell you for certain because there is no setting in the file that contains this information. When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.Often it is almost impossible to know if your CSV file has been encoded as UTF-8. Press F1 to access the Help screen and search for your problemĥ - P rinting, E xporting, F axing and E-M ailingġ2 - T ables of C ontents, I ndexes and B ibliographiesġ6 - Customizing W riter – K eyboard s hortcuts. odp etc.Īs a new AOO user you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date AOO Writer for Students and the Writer User Guide.

Ensure that "Automatic file name extension" checkbox is checked. Note that you may have to scroll up the list of offered file types to see this - on my computer it is second from top of the list. As you select each in turn you can open it, then use /File /Save As, changing the File type dropdown to select type "ODF Text Document (,odt)" to change the format. This is elementary computer usage, and should allow you to navigate to the folder in which the 365 files are stored.
Highlighting a folder then pressing Open will allow you to enter that folder. Start OpenOffice, use /File /Open and there is a navigation button that allows you to change up to a higher folder (repeatedly, if necessary). The document is in Office 365, saved in my documents file, and it won t let me edit it, if I try to save it again using Save As, is there an option I need to choose to get it to change into Open Office format is what I need to know, I'm afraid to do anything in case I lose this document, it's important!
