Viewing .docx graphs and formulas in OpenOffice.

Like it says in the title. I downloaded my homework in an .docx format, and opened it with OpenOffice. Everything showed up fine, but the graphs and functions weren't displaying at all. Do I need an extention at all to view them?

Difficult to say if you don't tell what format the formulas etc have. Check Tools - Options - Writer - View and make sure that Graphics and objects has a check mark.

I have both checked. Is there a certain extension that handles functions and graphs? I don't have any loaded at all.

You normally don't. I was thinking of formats in docx that aren't supported by OOo yet - what version of OOo are you running? Note that LibreOffice is slightly better at handling docx than OOo itself.

I'll give LibreOffice a try, I suppose. Thank you.
