what is the difference between save and save option in open office writer​

Click  OK  when done.

ou have the option to save your OpenOffice ODT document in several other available formats. Collaborating on an ODT document with Microsoft Word users is challenging because the ODT file format is not compatible with Microsoft Word. (This has been remedied in Microsoft Word 2010).

To open and save ODT documents, Microsoft Word users can install an ODF Add-In for MS Office. An easier alternative is for Open Office users to save the ODT document in MS Word format.

First, save your file as ODT, otherwise all changes will appear on the MS Word version and the ODT version will be lost.

Choose File → Save as

Choose the Microsoft Word format you wish to save to, and click  Save .

Changes made to the saved document will be saved in MS Word format. To return to ODT, you must open the document again.

To have Writer save documents by default in the Microsoft Word file format, go to Tools → Options → Load/Save → General. In the section named Default file format, find Document type and then select Text document. Under Always save as, select your preferred file format.
