Thats th exact problem Marc. I do not have MS word on my computer. I only use Open Office. So is there no way I can send people open office attachments? Thanks Eric
Eric, You can save your documents as OOo documents (with extension odt for text, ods for spreadsheet etc. - this is probably set as the default when you do File > Save) or you can use File > Save As and specify the File Type to make them into M$ Word, Excel etc. documents (with a doc, xls, ppt extension). Only the latter can be read by people using M$ Office. You can make OOo save your documents automagically as M$ Office documents: Tols > Options > Load/Save (click on +) > Microsoft Office > different options for Load & convert and Convert & save. If you send your documents by mail, you have the option File > Send > Email as Microsoft Word then you won't clutter your hard disk with M$ versions of your OOo work. -- Guy using english OOo 2.0.4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.1 RC 1 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
