When we download Open Office all original MS Word, MS Excel and Powerpoint documents get converted to Open Office. Now if we continue with Open Office and we have to send a document by e mail to someone else who uses on MS Office, can that person open the Open Office document in MS Office? MK Kannan

This was an option that is selected during start up. To change the file associations back, please follow these instructions:
