Why is it that every time a users asks this question that he is advised to create a PDF-document from the OO-document. OO is capable of sending a document in the corresponding MSFT-format. The users can test the conversion from ODF to (in this case) DOC to see what it does to the formatting of his text. If it looks the same then he can send it to the readers. Although diskspace isn't so much an issue anymore, anything that saves diskspace would be better than creating extra documents that one never uses again.

What I am trying to do is...well allow me to explaion. I write our street's Neighborhood Watch Newsletter and
since the only word document application I have is
Microsoft's Works' word processer that is what I use to
write the newsletter.
   Most readers that receive my newsletter by email have
only WORD (thus no MS Works) on their PCs...
   Can I copy a portion of my newsletter from a previous
months' newsletter and continue writing the newsletter
on Openoffice?

Yes.

If so can I tehn send the new Openoffice comument as
an attachment on emails to membership?

If your readers have only Word, you must first save your newsletter in MSWord (.doc) format. Then you can email the .doc file to them and they will be able to open it.

I would recommend, however, that you use OOo to export the file to PDF and email that to your readers instead. Fortunately, OOo has PDF export built in, so you do not need to buy a program like Adobe Acrobat!
