That's true. You can never save often enough, especially if you're
working on an important document.
But the issue here is that the original question was about an
ODT-document being sent to someone that didn't use OpenOffice. Therefore
my question was why we as helpers on this list almost never mention that
there is an option to send a document directly from OpenOffice as
Microsoft document or PDF.

I'm pretty sure most of us Windows users always "save" a document
before trying to "send as" because we have learned to not trust
Windows to complete such an operation without crashing and losing the
doc before it gets to where it needs to go. Don't care to start over
each time Windows flakes out and never sure of the status of the
AutoRecovery information, so better to play it safe.

Why do we keep telling users to SAVE a document as MS-Word and then
send it, when it is very well possible to SEND as MS-Word without
saving an unneeded copy of the document to our own harddisk??

1. It's stopped working on the Mac again :-( (Well on my machine
anyway)
Is this a known issue with the latest version or just your machine?
2. People often use Web Mail
That one sounds reasonable, but often they don't and you can't tell
for the individual so it should be mentioned as a way to do things.
3. It is easier to understand
Could be my simple mind, but what difficult with Send>Send as
Microsoft .... ?
4. It is more reliable
I've never had any trouble, seems logic to me these functions use the
same rendering/converting module
5. It is the same process as sending via other forms of media.
If this was a good argument then we would probable never have started
using OpenOffice, Word Perfect was the marketleader once. Different
times call for different ways of doing things.
6. Can try and find some more reasons?
Please do, I'm not convinced that this option should not get
mentioned as a solution. In the mean time I will also mention the
save as method as an option from now on.
