RE: word doc year 1 term chart won't open - mrsjroderick - 06-05-2017
Hi again Kathy,
I think I have solved the problem for myself now so that I can use the file, but for your reference, here are the circumstances and what I did: The ODT file doesn't open either. I tried changing settings in the Trust Center like the website said, and that didn't help. Disc space is not an issue. My husband is a professional computer tech guy, and he says it is probably just the file format (the way LibreOffice encodes it) combined with Word 2016 causing the issue. Perhaps a fourth link could be added with the .docx option for those of us who are having this issue, while keeping the .doc file available. I have just installed LibreOffice and confirmed that opening the .doc and saving it as .docx from LibreOffice makes it open normally in Word 2016 (with a slight modification needed on page 1 to make the table fit).
I appreciate your prompt attention to my problem here! Thanks again for all the work you put into AO and provide for free. I hope if anyone else experiences this issue, this thread will help them solve it. Blessings to you!

I'm glad you resolved it! I don't think that particular .doc was created in LibreOffice. I've always created the files in Word and saved them in .doc, .pdf, and .odt formats from Word directly. Thanks for letting us know!
