To save as a file that MS Word can use open the original file with OpenOffice.org and "Save as" instead of "Save" then select the MS Word format. Or you open the original file in OpenOffice.org and "Send" as an MS Word document. For detailed instructions how to save in MS Word format, with illustrations, follow the link below... http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Writer_documents ...scroll down to the section "Saving as a Microsoft Word Document" For instructions to send directly from OpenOffice.org as a MS Word document follow the link below... http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/E-mailing_Writer_documents
