Dear Open Office staff:
Hello. I recently purchased the OpenOffice software. While I am able to open
word documents that are sent to me, others who don't have OpenOffice are having
trouble reading the word documents I send to them via email. How can I format
my word documents in such a way that others can view them?
1) You don't have to buy OpenOffice. It's a free download from
www.openoffice.org.
2) You're probably saving in the default ISO standard ODF format, which
Microsoft refuses to support. This means you'll have to save in Word
format. You can do this in Save as, by selecting the appropriate format
from the drop down list. Also, ensure automatic file name extention is
selected. You can also email directly in Word format, by clicking on
File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word.
You can also recommend OpenOffice to your friends, or have them install
the Sun ODF plugin, which adds ODF support to Microsoft Office.
