I have Openoffice 2.5 and I am an online student. I purchased your
program a week ago and am very upset. your advertisement said that your
program was compatible with Microsoft Office. Well, how come none of my
classmates or instructor can not read what I submitted? If you can't fix
this problem I would please like my money back.

The current version is 2.4, not 2.5. You didn't have to pay for
OpenOffice, as it's a free download from www.openoffice.org. You paid
your money to someone who decided to charge you for something that is
free. You'll have to contact them for a refund.
As for exchanging files with others, OpenOffice, by default, saves in
the ISO standard ODF formats, which Microsoft refuses to support. There
are a few ways around this. One is to save your file 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 extension is
selected. You can also send directly from OpenOffice, by clicking on
File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word. Of course, the best method
would be to have them install OpenOffice or, failing that, the Sun ODF
plugin, which adds ODF support to Microsoft Office.
