On the Save As ... dialog there is a checkbox that says something like
automatic filename extension. If you check this, then you don't have to
add the .doc yourself but OOo will always add the extension according to
the fileformat you're saving under.

Dear Mr Fuchs,
I hope your are doing well, and thank you for the email and your response.
I am sorry I wasn't clear, both of the documents were saved in either OOo and in
Word, however, when I sent the OOo documnet saved in "Save as in Micorsoft
97/2000/XP as an attachment, the OOo document won't open in Word. So I need to type
.doc when I send an OOo document saved in Micorsoft 97/2000/XP?

Dear Mr or Ms,
I tried to send OOo ans an attachment and it failed to open in MS
Word 2003. I did saved it as a Windows document (in save as dialog
box)and it
failed to open when I clicked on the document to open it. I
going to
assume that the person at the other end (a business) does not have
OOo.
I sent it as an attachment with out saving it in Windows and it
failed> to open, when I clicked on it in either OOo or MS Word.
So what happened, and what am I doing wrong?

1. When you say you saved the file as a Windows document, what
really do you mean? What you need to do is use the File>Save As
menu; make sure that the "Save as type:" is set to "Microsoft Word
97/200/XP (.doc)" and that the box labelled "Automatic file name
extension" is ticked. Simply saving the file with ".doc" at the
end of the name is *not* sufficient.
If you do this then the document will be readable by MS Word.
2. When you sent the document as an attachment without saving it,
what exactly do you mean? What you need to do is use the
File>Send>E-mail as Microsoft Word ... menu. If you don't do this,
then even if you named the document with ".doc" at the end it will
not be readable by MS Word.
