my guess is, that you've changed nothing in your settings and therefore
you're saving your files in odf-format (like .odt or .ods). If the
recipients of your email don't have OpenOffice.org, then they can't
read them. 

So you have the following options: 
1) suggest to your partners to install OpenOffice.org (it's free, easy
to use and does not interfere with an installation of MS Office) or ask
them to get the ODF-plugin for MS Office.

2) You can save your files in .doc or .xls format. I do recommend, that
you save your files first in the odf-format and only when you're done
with everything, then chose "save as". 

3) You can save your files as .odt or .ods. If your partners don't need
to modify anything, then you could just export to pdf. OpenOffice.org
has this ability built-in, so this is pretty easy to do.

I hope, that this helps you. 

Sigrid
