Also, make sure automatic file name extension is selected, when saving a file. If you're sending a copy that the recipient is not expected to edit, you can send them a PDF copy of the file. If it is to be edited, you'll have to save in a format they can work with. If they don't currently run OpenOffice, this would be a good time for you to recommend it to them, or failing that, the Sun ODF plug-in for Microsoft Office, so they can read & write ODF files. http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin Incidentally, if you're sending a file, you can use File > Send and E-mail the desired document type. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> hi james: i have told many a friend about office, also about a small donation if they choose. as far as SAVE AS I will do a test document with a color back ground & the word test in red. the extension box is checked as you said, i send defult .odt there are 21 choices. i send to myself. when i open the background is not there, but the red font is, how do i send to get background color? i tried saving in a differnt type. when i clicked on link it said open with. many choices, i found one that opened, no color background but red font. i want to thank you for your support, regards, gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
