Dear Crystle
I am afriad I am powerless to complain to Microsoft to allow me to use OOo.
Someone sent me an attached .odt file and I just want to open it. FYI, I have
not been told how to to do it.
Can someone please assist me? Thanks.

You could download OpenOffice.org for free from the web site.
1. Download from http://openoffice.org
2. Install the program.
3. Then, you can try opening the file from your email client or save the
file and do File->Open from OOo.
The other poster also suggested asking the person who sent you the file
to send it as a PDF or MSOffice file. There are also OOo viewers
available (search google for them).
Hope this helps.

Dear Sir
I am using Outlook Express and Microsoft Office. I received an email with
an .odt attachment. When tried to open it, the error message was "The file
does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
Create an association in the folder option control panel".
How do I open the attachment? Also, if every Microsoft Office user has to
"create a link" then most likely it will be too complicated to open a .odt
file. Can Open office be more user friendly?

Someone has already answered how you can do this, but I want to clear up
a misconception.
If MSOffice can't open an OpenOffice.org file, then it is MSOffice that
is not user friendly. The file format for OOo is completely open, so it
is trivial to make an import filter.
In fact, MS is doing so in order to satisfy a requirement of on US
state. However, they are not making it simple, because MS most likely
does not want you to use OOo.
This however, is not something OOo has any control over, since Office is
made by Microsoft, and you are using Office to open an OOo file. Please
complain to them!
