How can I get around this without resorting to purchasing microsoft word/office (which I had originally until my hard drive was corrupted)? Thanks Ope 1) You didn't have to pay for OpenOffice, as it's a free download from www.openoffice.org. 2) The default file formats for OpenOffice are the ISO standard OpenDocument Formats, which Microsoft refuses to support.  This means you'll have to send the documents in Microsoft Office formats or PDF.  You can save or email in either format.  If you work a lot with Microsoft Office files, you can make them the default.  Also, you may wish to enable automatic file name extensions. --
