You need to understand that every program saves its files in a unique format that tells the program how to interpret things like font sizes, margins etc. If you are planning to email a document you need to save it in a form that other programs can read. You do this by using "Save As" then select (for example) Microsoft Word format. The other problem I suspect is what is called a file association problem. You need to tell Windows that files ending in .odt are to be opened with open office. When you next try to open a file, right click on the file instead of normal left click. It should then offer you a list of programs to use to "associate" or link that file type with. You can find out more detailed explanations here: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s04.html#FILE-ASSOCIATIONS http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s02.html#SAVE_AS_DOC -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
