By default, OpenOffice saves in the ISO standard ODF formats, which
Microsoft refuses to support. You'll have to save or email your documents
in Word format. You can save them in Word format, by selecting Word from
the drop down list, when using Save as. Also ensure automatic file name
extension is selected. You can also email directly, by clicking on File >

I do not recommend sending in word format. Better off sending a PDF. A
pdf will be rendered exactly the same on all platforms. With a word
document, you cannot know what version of Word the receiver is using,
or if he is using an alternative Office Suit. There are tens of office
suits available, not only OOo and MSO.
PDF can be used, but that depends on the intended file use. If just a
letter to someone, PDF is fine. However, the boss may be editing the
file some more, in which case PDF would not work. Of course the ideal
solution, would be to get everyone in the world to switch to OpenOffice.
