The problem is that Microsoft has decided not to support the International ISO Standard ODF Format that OpenOffice.org and others use. They instead have proposed their own troubled format. The solution is that when you save you can choose to save in Microsoft formats. Look to the "File Type" slot towards the bottom of teh "Save As..." dialogue box. Word 97, 2000, XP format is most appropriate for documents to send. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
