OpenOffice, by default, saves in the ODF file formats, which Microsoft refuses to support. You can select Word format, from the drop down list, when you use "Save as". Also make sure automatic file extensions is selected. Simply changing the extension from ODT to DOC will not work, if you plan to use Word to open the file Please respond only to the mail list ([email protected]) and not directly to me. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
