I'm sending again - without the file. Why Linux-IL doesn't receive files?

Knowing that OO can send RTF and plain text and other formats, such as

Word version you do not know, since you are a computer geek and aware of
potential problems ? I mean, I would understand if you would only have a
'recent' version of O, and not be a computer geek. Then, you would have
no choice, but would be sure to do 'the right thing'. No ? After all,
you can always use the fax if it does not work out ...
But just in case you want to try out OO with rtf, see attached.

OK, I opened your file with both MS Office and Open Office. The content
is the same but the file doesn't look completely identical. But I tried
something else: I saved it as a different file with MS-Word and then
opened it with Open Office. There are bugs with the Hebrew and you can
see for yourself (I'm attaching the file). That's what I meant when I
said Open Office and MS Office are not 100% compatible. If you save
files with one version they are not completely readable with the other.
By the way, I always send files to people in RTF format. Unless they
created the original file in another format.
