Eurocopter1546081234 113 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Folks, hopefully someone can give me a hand with this as I'm no computer extraordinaire so... I have two .opd files on my laptop. They are educational references which I scanned on my printer. I don't have the printers' software anymore and I don't have Windows as my OS (I use Ubuntu). When I try to open one of the files it says this: Unable to open documentFile type OLE2 compound document storage (application/x-ole-storage) is not supported Any computer genious know how I can view the files?

callsign-kid 1,617 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) It will open with open office presentation software. Open office is free to download. Edit, should come pre-installed on ubuntu. Edited December 11, 2011 by Callsign-sled1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurocopter1546081234 113 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Just tried it there, callsign-sled1. It loaded to this point then nothing happened. Edited December 11, 2011 by Snowcopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel 1 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Have you tried reading the document with no lock? and do you have permission to read the file? Also well done for moving from windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurocopter1546081234 113 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 I tried the one without the lock and I have read and write permissions, and the file with the lock only had read only permissions but I changed that to read and write and still nothing!

Daniel 1 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 By the looks of it you're using a old ubuntu? The newer one (11.04) uses LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice, try downloading libreoffice from the software centre? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurocopter1546081234 113 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah, it's the 10.04 version I think. I'll give LibreOffice a bash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
