# Opening documents saved in other formats

You can open a document saved in another format by using the following procedure:

1. Choose \<emph\>File - Open\</emph\>.

2. Select a format from the\<emph\> Files of type\</emph\> list.

3. Select a file name and click \<emph\>Open\</emph\>.

If you always want the file dialogs to show another format by default, choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - Load/Save - General and select that format as Default file format.

## Converting all documents of a folder

Open the wizard, which guides you through the operation, to copy and convert all documents from Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint into OpenDocument file format documents. You can select a source and target directory, specify whether to convert documents and/or templates, and more besides.

- Choose File - Wizards - Document Converter.
