Frequently asked questions
Can Microsoft Word open an HWP file directly?
No. Word has no built-in HWP import filter; convert the file to
.doc or .docx first using LibreOffice Writer, then open the result in Word.Should I save as .doc or .docx?
Use
.docx for modern Word compatibility unless a system specifically requires the older .doc format; LibreOffice Writer supports both targets.Will Korean text and tables survive the conversion?
Plain Korean text and simple tables generally carry over well; Hancom-specific features like vertical text or complex nested table structures may not render exactly as in the original.
Do I need an internet connection to convert?
No; LibreOffice Writer performs the conversion entirely on your computer without any internet connection.
