You did not state how you have tried to save the documents. Here are
the steps that should do it:
1) File > Save as. The Save As window opens.
2) Enter the name of the file in the File name box.
3) Below the file name is the File type dropdown list. It should show
OpenDocument Text (.odt). Click it to open the dropdown list.
4) Find the Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) listing, and click it. It
should now be listed as the File type.
5) At the bottom of the window you should see a checkbox labeled Automatic
file name extension. Make absolutely certain that this box is checked.
6) Click the Save button.
If you are emailing your documents to others, you can avoid all the
above steps by
File > Send > Document as Microsoft Word. Your email client should open
with the document attached to a new email as a .doc file. Fill in the
email address and Subject. Then click the Send button.
