Hello:

I recently downloaded your program and am happy to say, I really like it. I'm 
not the best ever in working with computers. However, I have come upon one 
problem that I can't find the answer to nor figure it out. When I type a new 
page using this program, it comes in an .odt file. When trying to send it to 
someone else that has MS Word, it won't even go through. Then I change it to a 
.doc file (and it tells me I shouldn't) and then sometimes they can get it but 
once in awhile they can't get it in word.

What can I do about this?

Since Word fails to work with ISO standard formats, you'll have to
actually save the file in Word format.  Just changing the name doesn't
work.  You'll have to either use Save as to save the file in Word format
and then email the file or email as word document, directly from OO.  If
the other person only want to read the document, you can also create PDF
files in a similar manner.



when in open office I tend to use the 'file' drop down, and then use 'send' ... Email as microsoft word. I have not had a problem opening documents that I send to myself at work.
I do have Thunderbird as the email program I use.
