I have recently installed OpenOffice on one of my computers. I have used
OpenOffice approx. 2 years ago. My problem is that I tried to send an
article, I had typed in openOffice and saved in My Documents, to my
husband's computer (Microsoft Word). When he tried to open the file it was
unreadable. I thought OpenOffice and Microsoft Word Documents were
interchangeable. Is there a solution to this problem.
Thanking you

Margaret,
MS Office cannot open files saved in OpenOffice format.
There are several solutions:
1. From OpenOffice, do a File > Save As, and for the file type, select
Microsoft Word/97/2000/XP.
or
2. Export the file as a PDF file. This is a very good approach IF they
don't need to edit the file.
or
3. Have your husband install OpenOffice on his computer.
