Hi I am using Open Office 2.0 and have not been able to send a file as an

That is correct, MS Word cannot open OpenOffice Writer files in their
"native" format. There are basically three ways around this:
1. If the recipient only needs to view the file or print it, the best
thing is to export it as a PDF file (File > Export as PDF).
2. If the recipient needs to edit the file, then you need to save it as
MS Word (File > Save As).
3. The overall best approach, to prevent these issues from happening in
the future and to not have to think about exporting as PDF or saving as
MS Word, is to have the recipient download and install OpenOffice.
