No Microsoft software will or can (yet) change OOo (OpenOffice.org) files. > - and the end user can not open them easily.

If this is the case you have three options: 1. Use the menu "File -> Save As..." and select the file format type of your recipient's software (eg. MS Word) from the "File type" drop down list. 2. If your recipient only needs to read the attachment and does not need to edit or change it, use the menu "File -> Export As PDF". 3. The best option is to give your recipient a copy of OOo to install on their computer. If this is not the case, then please reply to this list, giving specific details of the steps you are taking to create the file(s) you are emailing. Hope this helps.
