I have installed Openoffice, but most people have Word and therefore cannot

receivers to open my Openoffice documents?
Otherwise I must pay for Word, which I would obviously rather not do.
OpenOffice, by default, saves in ISO standard ODF file formats, which
Microsoft refuses to support. This means you'll have to save in Word
format. You can select Word format, when you "Save as", by selecting
the appropriate format from the drop down list. Also, ensure automatic
file name extension is selected. You can also use File > Send > E-mail
as Microsoft Word, which will start up your email program. An
alternative, if the files are not expected to be edited, would be to
export or send a PDF.
You can also advise the receivers to install OpenOffice or, failing
that, the Sun ODF plug-in, which enables ODF suport in Microsoft Office.
