Yes, your OpenOffice documents can be opened with Microsoft Word. That is the beauty of this open source application, that it is compatible with Microsoft Office without costing any money. I've used OpenOffice in the past, and have not gotten it down to efficient yet, however even some of my college professors have recommended that some students download it if they do not have Microsoft on their computer.
All you need to do is ensure that when you save your file that you save it in a format that MS. Word can understand. That would probably be the default save, as a .
Doc file. If you've had opportunity to open Word documents in OpenOffice you may find that some of the fancier formatting does not translate well, like watermarks and some of the more unusual fonts, however for a free source of word processing and spreadsheet capability, a few formatting issues are not a problem. The same may be true when you format a document in OpenOffice and try to read it in MS Word.
However, if you are doing this for business or other professional uses it may not be an issue.
Yes you can, of course if you have saved the open office files with an extension compatible with Word ( if I asks you when you want to save the open office document what format you prefer. ).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
