compatable with microsoft word?
OpenOffice, by default, saves in the ISO standard ODF file formats,
which Microsoft refuses to support. To open your documents in Microsoft
Office, you'll have to save in Microsoft file formats. To do this, when
you use "Save as", select the appropriate file format from the drop down
list. Also ensure that automatic file name extension has been selected.
You might also suggest the people receiving your documents install
OpenOffice or the Sun ODF plug-in, which will enable Microsoft Office to
read and write ODF documents. If the document is intended to be read
only and not modified, you can also create a PDF, which everyone can read.
