Hope somebody on the list can help. I've had the message you're getting,
but when I went ahead with the save it had the .doc extension and was
completely usable by the folks I sent it to. So you're selecting the XP
format, the automatic filename extension option box is checked, and yet
the file gets the .rtf extension, and it can't be opened when you send it?
Even if the extension comes out as .rtf, that's a format that Word (and
just about every other word processing program) can open, although the
quality may not be too good. I sure have never seen anything like the
behavior you're describing.
Attachments to the list don't always get through (though your title page
.doc did get to me). You can try sending a file that you had trouble with
and see if we can help.

Dear Barbara
Thank you!
No, the Save As extension drop down menu is not the problem - it invites
a series of Microsoft Word save options, but when one of these are used
to save in doc, a window appears " This document may contain Formatting
or content that cannot be saved in MS Word/200/xp file format.....
Click yes....
Click no....
The Open Office Writer document is then always saved in RTF File which
cannot be opened by my users.
Any advise?

Gentlemen
After using Open Office for a year or so, I am afraid that unless you
have information regarding my recent inability to save my OO Writer
documents "save as" Word (doc) I will be forced to purchase the
Microsoft Word Program software once again. I have tried every "help"
menu you offer but I can not find out why this is now happening after a
long period of being able to use OO to save my documents in doc. I do
not like Microsoft and do not want to take this step but I have no
option. Can you save me from
Microsoft?

If your problem is that others no longer seem to be able to open your
documents, rather than that there is an error when you try to save them,
you have probably accidentally unchecked the automatic filename
extension option in the Save As dialog. If the filenames no longer end
with .doc, they are not being recognized as Word documents.
