The reason this is happening is that, by default, OpenOffice saves in the ISO standard ODF file formats, which Microsoft refuses to support. You'll have to save in Word or Excel formats, depending on document type. You can do this when you "Save as", by selecting the appropriate format from the drop down list. Also make sure automatic file name extension is selected. You can also e-mail directly, by selecting File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word (or Excel). Another method is to export or send a PDF of your document, provided your instructor agrees to accept them. You might also take this opportunity to advise your instructor about OpenOffice or, failing that, the Sun ODF plug-in, which will enable her to read & write ODF documents in Microsoft Office. http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin 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]
