I have been using Open Office as a substitute for WORD. I have just
downloaded version 2.4 and haven't tried it yet.
My problem is this - when I prepare a document in Open Office and want
to email it - I save the document and the icon becomes one with the
Windows logo. So, when I get ready to email - the receiver can't open
the document because it is not the WORD document that is compatible.
Can you help? This has really become a problem lately. I have to
open every document with Writer and then when it's saved again, it
reverts back to the icon with Windows logo.
This sounds like a problem with file types. By default, OpenOffice
saving in the ISO standard ODF formats, which Microsoft refuses to
support. You'll have to save your files in Word format. You can do
this by selecting the appropriate file format, from the drop down list,
when you use Save as. Also ensure automatic file name extension is
selected. Another method is to send directly from OpenOffice, by
clicking on File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word.
