How to Save a Docx File in Open Office

1. Launch OpenOffice Writer normally. Create a new document or open an existing file.
2. Click on 'File' in the toolbar. Select the 'Save As' option if you're saving a new file or if you'd like to convert an existing file to .docx format. A 'Save' dialog box opens up.
3. Name the file as desired in the 'File Name' field and choose where you'd like to save it on your hard drive.
4. Click on the arrow to the right of the 'File Extension' bar. A menu drops down with several different file extension options. Click on the .docx extension to save the file in that format.
5. Push the save button to finishing saving the .docx file in OpenOffice.
