Previously, when I used OpenOffice, I could save documents as Word or Excel documents, and, when I emailed them, they could be opened by Microsoft Office users. Also, the documents would be saved, and indicatd as such, as Word and Excel documents. Presently, this does not occur. The saved document is indicated as a "File" document, and users of Office cannot open them. These documents are received as .dat documents that apparently cannot be opened by Office users. What is going on?
My guess is that when you do a File > Save As and select Word or Excel format, the box "Automatic File Name Extension" is not checked. If you check that, the documents will have .doc or .xls attached to the file name, which should enable Word or Excel users to open the documents.
