Hi,
It sounds like you are trying to email documents to people who do not
have OpenOffice installed on their machines. How exactly are you
trying to send them?
To open a document in MS Office that was created in OpenOffice you
first need to save the document as an MS Office file. In Writer go to
File -> Save As then choose MS Word in the list under 'File Type'.
The resulting file will be open-able by Word.
If you wish to email the document straight from Writer then click
File -> Send -> Email as MS Word (or 'Email as PDF' if the recipient
need not edit the file).
I hope this helps
Tom

A friend encouraged me to try Open Office. I loaded it. Received
email attachments I could not open in MSOfice or Adobe Acrobat.
Email listed the application as "octet-stream" but when I asked him
about it. He didn't know what I meant. I tried using OpenOffice
which opened it beautifully--10 or 11 attachments which I saved as
OpenOffice documents and have opened two or more times since saved.
Both of my Internet Security programs reported they found "no
virus." However, today I could not get these documents to load,
could not get OpenOffice Writer to load separately. Received note
saying OpenOffice crashed and asking me to send report to Sun which
I could not send--it crashed. Can you help me? Thanks for any
effort you make!
