Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

If you have Open Office, that will work too, then you can save the file as a Word document.

MS don't support the Open standard. So you can't natively. So the addon that kaizersoze linked will do it or else just use OO.o
