Hi all, new here... I have searched all over but not come up with an answer.
My wife is on a course in a virtual classroom, the computer at the "school" has saved her word documents as a .Ink file
She downloads her work onto a USB stick to bring home and do further work.
We have Libra office installed, but no joy-I have tried re-naming it as a .docx etc. she will check tomorrow if she can alter the file type. in the meantime any suggestions would be welcome, cheers

A .lnk is a Windows shortcut and not the actual file. How is she saving the file to the USB drive and what program does she use on school computer?

Hi: & Welcome to LQ.

From the research I did I found out that a .iINK file is and image file format used by a program called Corel Draw.

Mimio Studio is a Linux program that opens .INK files for the distro Ubuntu 16.04.
I'm not sure if it will work on Linux Mint (which is Ubuntu based) but you can install it, try it and see. It may be that Mimio Studio only works on Ubuntu but I could be wrong.

You have to fill out the form in order to download the program on this page.

Let us know how things go.

On my phone the .Ink looked like a lnk so it may not be a shortcut. Will wait and see what application she is using.

She "believes" it is windows 7 using explorer, this morning, she highlighted her work on word the copied and pasted to desktop, then saved that.so she is able to save her future work OK.
The Mimeo will not open, gives Error: Dependencey is not satisfiable libcairomm-1.ß-1v5
The sytem is tied in to a virtual classroom Germany wide, I am unable to go and " have a look " at the system, for example it saves all their keystrokes,absences, coffee times etc.I will call this for me solved if that is OK?
Look, thanks for your time and being there! :-D
Cheers

That's good news.

So the .INK files are no longer an issue?
