SO8 and SO7 compatability.

We currently use SO7 in our Windows environment. We have begun to receive files from some of our clients that were created with SO8 and have an extension of *.odt. I am unable to open this file using SO7. Should this be possible? If so, what should I check on my end to make sure that my config is correct.

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK SO 7 PU5 can read but not write this files. When not your clients should save the files as SO7 files.

Tuesday, January 24, 2006I can confirm that SO7 with the last update (5) should be able to open the ODT files. I cannot remember whether the ODT filter requires a custom installation.Phil
