LibreOffice - Items missing when document is saved in .docx

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2157 / 3 Years ago, sat, june 19, 2021, 8:24:41

I am using the pre-installed LibreOffice 3.4 with Ubuntu 11.10.

Using the drawing tool, I draw a few flowcharts, with the default flowchart symbols.

If I save my work in odt format, it will be no problem.

However, when I save my work in docx format, close and re-open the file, all my flowcharts are missing.

I've tried doc format as well. And no matter I draw the flowchart directly, or put them inside a frame, same result.

I don't have a personal printer, the printer I use is connect to a Windows machine, and its Microsoft Word cannot read odt file, because the admin does not update the suite.

Why does this happen?

The formats are different and partially incompatible. The best way to accomplish this is to make a PDF file. There should be a PDF button on your toolbar. Just make a PDF and you can print your file anywhere.
