That solved the problem. Note that 1.1.5 was installed with the "Automatic
File Name Extension" box checked, but 2.1 was installed without it checked.
Also, your FAQ section states how to save a document in another format -
Word, Excel, etc. - but it does not state that the "Automatice File Name
Extension" box has to be checked. Perhaps this tip should be added. Thanks
for your help.

Previously, when I used OpenOffice, I could save documents as Word or

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.
