There is none. We are all volunteers. Most of us ask questions, many of us
answer other people's questions and a lot of us do both.

That's the way it's going to be on this list in most cases.

That's was very little information, but I recognize that problem so I
 assume that you are sending ODF documents to people (that's the default
file type in OpenOffice.org). That's generally a good idea, especially when
the recipients also have OpenOffice.org or other ODF compatibile software.
Unfortunately some people use MS Office, which doesn't seem to be compatible
(yet) with our files (which have been International standard now for more
than 2 years, ISO/IEC 26300:2006).
Someone said that you should save your documents in another format, and you
could do that. I, on the other hand, wouldn't do that. I would tell those
people to install an ODF plugin for their MS Office suite. Take a look
here<http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/>
.
Of course you could tell them to install OpenOffice.org (or other compatible
software), but people tend not to like being suggested doing things like
that… But they should at least know it's possible to have both MS Office and
OpenOffice.org installed and run at the same time.
