Can you help. > Hello, if I understand the problem correctly the following should allow your recipient to open the document. 1. Open your original document with OpenOffice Word 2. Select "File | Save As..." from the menu 3. In the bottom right of the window that opens, just aboue the "Cancel" and "Save" buttons there is a list box with "All Formats" displayed 4. Open the list and select the option "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" 5. Click the "Save" button 6. Send the newly saved document If the above doesn't allow recipient to open the document repeat steps 1 thru 3 then for step 4 4. Open the list and select the option "Microsoft Word 2003 XML (.xml)" 5. Click the "Save" button 6. Send the newly saved document If this doesn't work, and the recipient doesn't need to edit the document, send it as a .pdf. Do that by... 1. Open your original document with OpenOffice Word 2. Select "File | Export as PDF..." from the menu 3. Click the "Export" button 4. Send the newly exported pdf file If all of the above fail then ask what version of Microsoft Word your recipient is using and post back here. Each version of MS Word has it's own limitations regarding what MS Word versions it can read. The recipient may need to apply a patch to their product to be able to read the MS Word files that you are able to send.
