I am a new user. I downloaded Openoffice last night and prepared a

this morning under Word, I got garbage.
MS Word does not support the internationally recognized ISO opendoc
file standard
but uses a proprietary file format that changes with each version of
Word.
Open Office Writer can save the file in either rtf, a relatively open
Microsoft file format,
or as a doc format for Word 6, or Word 95, or Word 97.
Enjoy,
