The document I want to copy to a floppy is a simple letter, maybe 3 or 4 Kbytes. I used the word "send" rather than copy to replicate the command I am offered when I right-click on the file name as it is listed in My Documents. When I right-click, one of the options given me is to "Send To" four or five possible places. The one I choose is the D drive where my floppy is waiting. It works fine for any Word file or Spreadsheet file, but it will not accept the text file that I prepared with OpenOffice 3. Are you able to copy your text files to a floppy? If so, what commands do you use?
Ah! That's the information we were missing -- you aren't using OOo at all in this operation. If you have the navigation pane displayed on the left, you can just drag the file onto the device and drop it. On Vista, if you don't have the Navigation pane, select Organize > Layout > Navigation pane, then expand the Computer entry to see the devices. The Send operation in the context menu probably relies on recognizing the kind of object it is dealing with, and the operating system doesn't really understand any of the Open Document formats.
