OpenOffice, by default, saves in ODF formats. Since the government does not accept this, you'll have to save in Microsoft Word format. You can do this by selecting the appropriate format from the drop down box, when using Save as (also ensure automatic file name extension is selected) or, if you want to send an email, click on File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word. While you're at it, you might want to ask your representative why the government fails to accept ISO standard, non-proprietary, document formats.
