Check the bottom of page 21 of the OO Writers guide. Make sure the method you're using is what is described there. The writer guide can be found here... http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0200WG-WriterGuide.pdf The part that I think is relevant reads as follows... <begin Writer Guide excerpt> Saving as a Microsoft Word document You may need to share your documents with other people who do not use OpenOffice.org, but use Microsoft Word instead. Fortunately, OpenOffice.org can read and write Word files. To save a document as a Microsoft Word file: 1) First save your document in OpenOffice.org's format (*.odt). If you do not, any changes you made since the last time you saved will only appear in the Microsoft Word version of the document. 2) Then click File > Save As. The Save As dialog box (Figure 21) appears. 3) In the Save as type drop-down menu, select the type of Word format you need. 4) Click Save. >From this point on, all changes you make to the document will occur only in the Microsoft Word document. You have actually changed the name of your document. If you want to go back to working with the OpenOffice.org version of your document, you must open it again. <end Writer Guide excerpt> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
