I was able to attach the file with Yahoo Mail Beta, but not the current Yahoo Mail version. Error message stated that myresume.odt file could not be attached. I don't have the exact wording. Thank you, Jeff Sherman

I have many customers using Writer under Windows XP, who send dozens of Writer documents as email attachments every day and they do not experience any difficulties. Let me take a guess. Are you are saying can attach Writer documents to your emails, but your recipients cannot open the attachment in MS Word? If this is the case, please read the following: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s02.html#SAVE_AS_DOC If you want to use the "File -> Send -> Document As Email..." option to send your resume (or whatever) in MS Word format, you must change the settings under "Tool -> Options -> Load Save -> General -> Default File Format -> Always save as..." from OOo Writer to MS Word. If your recipients only need to read the document (not edit it), then you could use the "File -> Send -> Document as PDF Attachment..". Hope this helps. Dave Please reply to [email protected] only.
