For converting the ods-file to .xls-format, just open your existing file, choose "Save as..." and save it again. Take care, that you select the appropriate file format. (There is a drop-down-field under the line, where you enter the name.) When you've chosen .xls for Microsoft Office (2003, XP or which version you need), then send it again to your colleagues. You have the same to do for the Writer file. You have to choose .doc in the same place. You can change the default-format (e. g. when you need often to send files as attachments to other Microsoft users) by changing the entry in Tools > Options > and then "Load/Save". HTH.
