What format is the file in?
The file is created in .odt format on my vista machine.
In what program is the data not appearing?
The data does not appear when opened in Microsoft Word, specifically on
Windows XP though I haven't tried it on Word on a Vista machine.
What data, specifically, is not appearing?
The data is just text that was created in open office.
When the file is reopened in the original program, is the data visible?
Yes, the original data does not seem to be corrupted.
Is the data a footnote, header, table, or specific style?
No, it is actual text created in the body of the document
Is the problem reproducable?
No, at least not in anyway that I can figure out though it only happens when
the document is emailed.
Copy to OP.
For starters. Microsoft Office doesn't open odf files without the
plugin. I doubt that it is installed on the receivers side.
If the receiver doesn't need to edit the file, save it as a pdf file.
You can do this by clicking on File > Export as PDF.
If they need to edit the file, you can point them to OpenOffice.org and
they can download OOo for free.
If they don't want to install OOo. When you save the file, make sure
you use "Save as" and select a closed format file such as Microsoft Word
97/2000/xp(.doc).
