Using Open Office

[samiaarroyo]

Hello everyone.
I am new to CC and just had an article rejected. I copied and pasted the beginning of my article (a poem) and used it as the summary, not realizing that that was not allowed.
The reason for rejection also said, 'please submit in doc, rtf, or txt file type. I use OpenOffice.org to write my articles. Does anyone know if that is acceptable, or is it necessary to use Word?

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you very much.

There is probably a converter. I think I've seen some people talk about converting. Open Office must do RTF or txt. That's pretty standard. Look in the save as dialog box to see what it will convert to.

Hi Lysis, Thank you very much for your reply. I will take a look there. Thanks again!

Hi, Samia.

I use OpenOffice Writer for all my CC submissions. What I do is save my document as a .doc file. I've not had a problem doing it this way.
