Thank you > Ann Tribendis > > OpenOffice can save in Word format. When she uses "Save as", she has to select Word format, from the drop down list. It is also possible to set Word format as the default format. However, have you considered working with the ISO standard ODT file format that's the default for OpenOffice? You can download OpenOffice for free from www.openoffice.org or you can install the Sun plugin, available from http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin, which will enable OpenDocument support in Microsoft Office. Either way, you can avoid Microsoft "lock in". Many companies support the ISO standard ODF file formats, but Microsoft refuses, as it prevents people from being captive users.
