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.
