You must save the document in Word format. Use File>Save As and select
the relevant version (probably "97/2000/XP") of Microsoft Word as the
file type. Also make sure you have "Automatic file name extension"
checked. This will cause your document to be saved in a format that Word
can read. Unfortunately Microsoft Office is currently deficient in that
it cannot read/write ISO (International Standards Organisation) format
documents. Microsoft has committed to rectifying this in the future.
OpenOffice can read/write most Word documents although they are not 100%
compatible, particularly for complex documents. The reason for tihs is
that Microsoft does not publish the inner workings of its format so
other software cannot guarantee to be able to handle all its subtelties.
