Re: Script help-1

Trausti, 

    I failed miserably. You mention an internet document that uses online commands using “soffice" and "—convert-to". My terminal refuses this, and Libre Office help does not know this either. Would this be a a Window’s specifity ? Of course, I use only MacIntosh. 

Cordially, 
Daniel

There seems to be a possibility to convert a set of files (i.e. an internal loop exists for this). It asks for “templates” which I do not understand. Somewhere I suppose I should be able to define what the files should be converted to (.rtf in my case) but I do not find it.
