Two have just asked basically the same question. The easy response is
to set OpenOffice up to automatically save in .doc format.
To do this, go to Tools > Options
Go to the Load/Save section and check the boxes for Load (L) and Save
(S) for Microsoft Word and Excel. (You can do it for PowerPoint as
well, if you want.)
Also, go to the General subsection of "Load/Save"
Here you will see for each document type you can have it "Always save
as" and choose the format you want it to always save in: in this case
"Microsoft Word" for Text Documents and "Microsoft Excel" for
spreadsheets.

Hi,
Like many people, I have my issues with Microsoft…but, how do I
send attachments of OOo documents to friends and colleagues who are
strictly MS Office users?
I sent a test email with an attached Writer document to my home
computer, to which I have not yet downloaded OpenOffice.
Obviously, I was not able to open the attachment. Does this mean I
have to first convert the Writer file to a .doc file? If that’s
the case, it makes double work for an otherwise simple process. Is
there an easier solution, short of the receiving machines also
having OOo installed?
Thanks,
John F. Frasca
