So for instance if I send as an attachment a file written on openoffice.org writer, are my contacts able to open it and to read it on microsoft word? And vice versa if my contacts send me a file written on microsoft word, can I open it with openoffice.org writer? Writer is compatible with Word, though you'll have to ensure you save in Word format.  Also make sure automatic file extensions are enabled, when you use Save as. --
