I came across some old StarOffice Writer (.sdw) files that I really would like to open.
I have tried opening them with Apache Open Office and LibreOffice. The first one doesn't seem to support .sdw files anymore, and LibreOffice freezes every time I try to open the file.
I have searched for solutions online, but I haven't been able to find any help for OS X. The whole matter seems pretty obscure these days.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to an old copy of StarOffice on a CD or anything like that. Would anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Answer
It seems like LibreOffice dropped support for StarOffice files after version 3.6.7.2.
I downloaded LibreOffice 3.6.7.2 from their old binaries archive and opened the file, and then exported to ods and pdf, worked fine.
LibreOffice 3.6.7.2 was released in 2013.
