I recently downloaded Open Office Suite with every program. I was very please and impressed by their programs. Their like the mirror image of Microsoft Office. I didn't like the fact that it didn't have a program like Outlook, though I have Mozilla Thunderbird. But my question is, is there a way to have everything I create (word, presentation etc) automatically save as a Word or Powerpoint file? I want this because I do work for school and my school doesn't have open office so every time I use my flash drive to open a document created by open office it doesn't work. So can I just change is so its Word and Powerpoint even though its Impress and Writer! THANKS!

I basically want to have the file extension change by auto!

Look under the options tab for the program you are in.

Don't do it. Keep the authoritative versions of all your files in opendoc since that's the native format and will guarantee you won't lose any information. Export them in microsoft format if you need to.
If you have a big enough flash drive, you can install portable OOo on it and use that at school.

You maybe able to do it with word but PowerPoint is a propietary flie format so you won't be able to save to many of those

Can you afford $69? Student Version of Office on sale here. It would save you a lot of headaches.
