Really?? What version of OOo are you using? I'm on 2.0.2, and when I go to File > Save As, and select the dropdown list of file types, I get around 15 choices, one of which is Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP.

Please direct future replies to [email protected] rather than to me directly; that way a large number of people will read your note and potentially respond and provide help.

Yes, the advertising agency WILL need to edit or re-format my document and I have already tried to save my OpenOffice doc as MS WORD - but the drop down options only give me the following choices...
*OpenDocument Master Document .odm
*OpenOffice.org.1.0 Master Document.sxg
*Star Writer 5.0 Master Document.sgl
* Star Writer 4.0 Master Document.sgl

I was unfortunate to have experienced a CRASH with my Microsoft Word program recently and as I have mislaid my WORD CD I was therefore unable to uninstall and re install the program. I was told to download your openoffice program from the Internet and it successfully allowed me to retrieve many of my WORD documents.
I now have a problem that I hope you can rectify please:

When I typed a new document using openoffice, I tried to email the document to a publishing business (to meet an advertising deadline) and they could not open my openoffice document.

Is there some way I can save this OpenOffice document so that it can be opened by everyday users? Word was always user-friendly to everyone - but I have no way of sending a text document if my program cannot be opened.

The deadline is past for my editorial and I have been granted until Monday to email it to them. Do you think you can help me please?

I can be reached by this email - or phoned on 08 8956 9855.

With thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Carmel Chalmers.


Yes, you can do this. I assume they will need to have the ability to edit it (or re-format it, etc.). If so, then you need to do a File > Save As, and select MS Word as the file format.

If the do NOT need to edit it, then you can save it as a pdf file and send it that way.
