Greetings,

You can do one of 4 things:
1. Use File>Save As and select the relevant Word format (there are several
in the list of possibilities) to save your document in Word format; make
sure the "Automatic filename extension" box is selected; simply saving the
file with a ".doc" extension is *not* sufficient.
2. Use File>Send>E-mail as Microsoft Word to e-mail your document in Word
format without saving it.
3. Use File>Export as PDF to save your document in PDF format which even a
Microsoft user will be able to read, but not edit.
4. Use File>Send>E-mail as PDF to e-mail your document in PDF format
without saving it.
Microsoft Office is deficient in that it cannot read/write the
International Standards Organisation's (ISO) Open Document Format (ODF)
which is what OpenOffice (OO) uses by default. On the other hand, OO can
happily read all except the most complex Word documents.
