The main question here is if you are using Open Office on both ends? If you write something in Open Office, make sure you use Open Office to open it. If you are using Open Office on both ends, then the file may have been corrupted during transmission. Open Office files are nothing more than zip files; you can do a quick check by renaming the file to something.zip and see if you can unzip it.
Something to keep in mind along the same lines is that no matter what word processor you use to write your document, there's not guarantee that your audience will have the same word processor, or that the document will look the same when they view it. The best thing to do is send out the file in a standard format. If your audience is simply reading the file use PDF. It guarantees that the document will look as you intended it to anyone who reads it. You can create the PDF right from Open office; go to File -> Export as PDF ... If your document simply has some light formatting, use RTF. All major platforms can usually read RTF with tools they have out of the box. Finally, if your document contains heavy formatting, it's best to use the same application (version and everything) on both ends. -Roberto. On 7/28/06, Kyle Deterding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I downloaded Open Office and have used the writer at home and really like it, but I have a question. I have tried to attach a couple of the documents I have written to e-mails and open them on a different computer, but they wouldn't open. With Open Office, can I save documents and e-mail to people so they will be able to open them up and read them? Thanks for your help __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
