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
