Knowing that OO can send RTF and plain text and other formats, such as html, WHY would you want to send a Word format document to someone whose Word version you do not know, since you are a computer geek and aware of potential problems ? I mean, I would understand if you would only have a 'recent' version of O, and not be a computer geek. Then, you would have no choice, but would be sure to do 'the right thing'. No ? After all, you can always use the fax if it does not work out ... But just in case you want to try out OO with rtf, see attached.
