Save your file as .txt or .rtf, and it can be opened with Wordpad, which most Windows based computers have. Or save it as .doc and it can be opened with Microsoft Word. In a message dated 1/16/2006 3:54:42 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I have a Compaq computer operating Windows ME. I downloaded free version of Openoffice.org did some word processing and put it on a floppy disc and gave it to a friend of mine, but he cannot open it. He has Windows XP. He gets a message that says Windows cannot open this program. He tried to open it with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Notepad and Microsoft Wordpad but nothing works. Will he have to download Openoffice.org to view the floppy disc or is there something that we are doing wrong? thanks for any help you can give me.
