Hi

The following works
soffice --convert-to odt GQ_Course_guide_Applied_Statistics_and_Numerical_Methods_2020_FINAL.docx
but I have also seen

soffice --convert-to odt GQ_Course_guide_Applied_Statistics_and_Numerical_Methods_2020_FINAL.docx --headless

It seems to generate the same file, what is the difference?

Thanks

Hi Uwe,

soffice --convert-to odt GQ_Course_guide_Applied_Statistics_and_Numerical_Methods_2020_FINAL.docx
but I have also seen

soffice --convert-to odt GQ_Course_guide_Applied_Statistics_and_Numerical_Methods_2020_FINAL.docx --headless

It seems to generate the same file, what is the difference?

Have a look in the help for "Startparameter". There is a littel
description. --headless seems to be a way to execute the programm
without user interface.
