When you save the files, are you making sure the option for "automatic file extension" is checked? It sounds as if there is no extension (.doc, .pdf) being saved as part of the filename, and that's what the other programs need.

Subject: [users] Problem


I am using Open Office Writer 2.2, and I am having a problem with saving my files. When I select to save a file as a Word document or a PDF file (the only two I have tried, because I use them on a daily basis) I can only open them in Open Office again. When I e-mail these to clients etc, they can't open them with Adobe Acrobat or even Word. This is a new problem, some time ago I could successfully send files created in Open Office Writer and people could open them without any problem.

When I look at the properties of any files I saved it does not tell me what format it is, it simply says "file." This has become such an issue that I will have to switch to using Word if I can't solve it within the next day or two, and I really prefer using Open Office. Please advise.




Best wishes,
