If the file was saved as a Word document by changing the file extension to .DOC then it was not actually converted just renamed using Word's document naming convention. To make certain the file has been "Saved as" a Word document follow the instructions here... Saving as a Microsoft Word document<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Writer_documents#Saving_as_a_Microsoft_Word_document>. There are only four steps and one illustration. The instructions don't even take a full page in the web browser. The process works regularly for me. I'm on OpenOffice at home and Microsoft Office at work. At home I've used OOo 2.0 through OOo 2.4 and at work I've had MS Office XP through Office 2007. I've always been able to read at work the documents created in OOo as long as I did the "Save as" described above. I hope this is helpful.
