Keep opening it in Word and testing it until you get a clean copy without formatting problems. Another option from the dirty tricks box is to write an XSLT transform to output very, very plain and simple *valid* HTML (not XHTML) with some simple embedded CSS to do the formatting. Save the output with a .doc filetype, and Word will open it as if it was a Word file. You need to know the limitations of Word's rendering of HTML, but I have used this method quite successfully in the past -- although not from OO (all my documents are authored in XML to start with). ///Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [users] need your help in emailing from openoffice.org writer
You have come up with one of the common Open Office Problems Please see the notes below How do I send an OpenOffice document to a user with Word? Note (1) that the .ODF (open) format that is normally used by OpenOffice cannot be read by MS Word. However the .doc files produced by MS Word or WordPad can be read by OpenOffice. Note (2) that some complex formatting may not be recognised by OpenOffice. These formatting discrepancies can be caused by the fact that Microsoft has undocumented features or because the specific feature is copyrighted by Microsoft so OpenOffice cannot use it. Procedure 1. Decide on the file type you wish to send. If the recipient needs to edit the document then send a Word or Excel document. If the recipient only needs to read the document then send a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) document. 2. Decide if you need to e-mail the document. If you need to e-mail it then use FileSend E-mail as Microsoft word or Filesend E-mail as PDF. If you need to pass the document to the user on a disc, or USB drive or over a network then use FileSave As and choose the appropriate file format and disc. I hope this helps Thanks Rob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 January 2007 19:30 To: users@openoffice.org Subject: [users] need your help in emailing from openoffice.org writer I am using version 2.0 of OpenOffice.org.

For a resume, what I would suggest is exporting as a PDF file (File Export as PDF). Then open it up (OpenOffice can't open PDF files; you probably have Adobe Reader or something equivalent which will do that) and make sure it looks right. It should, but if it were a resume, I'd check mine first. Then e-mail the PDF file. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
