Subject: [discuss] ms word
I use and prefer Openoffice.Org . Its an excellent program.
However my correspondents use only MS Word and the command open with , does
not work.
How do we get around this problem ???

Ron; is it you, using Open Office, that cannot open the file(s) created
with MS Word, or, is it your corresp[ondents, using MS Word, that cannot
open the file(s) created with Open Office?
Also, which version of the software, is each of you using?
One of the possibilitties, is that your correspondents are using a
current version of MS Word, that uses the .docx file format, and the
version of Open Office that you are using, might not be able to open
that file format.
I find the easiest way for people who send word-processed files in
word-processor file format, is simply to save all files in .doc (MS Word
97) file format, and, when sending files, unless the files are required
to be writable, to send the files in PDF format, as the files should be
universally readable, if the PDF is generated by reputable software
(Open Office is good for that, and, on MS Windows without Open
Office, CuteWriter is good), and PDF files are smaller than
word-processing document files.
