Thanks. I'm using Windows Vista. The link you provided gave me the answer.
I have to actually type in the suffix I need for the reformatting to work.
That is new behaviour.

the same thing I've always done, namely, Save As Microsoft Word .doc

Arnold,
You didn't specify which operating system you run. However, please
read this page and the links it mentions, it *may* be the solution to
your problem (I don't know because I don't run OOo 3.0 yet):

this said, please also read this recent message (and have a look to
the slides linked from there) to know why continuing to send and
accept files in any proprietary format, unless one is really forced to
do so, is a bad thing:
