I attached it to an email, but those who received it couldn't open the document. Could you explain why or how I can get around that problem? How *exactly* did you create the Word document? Simply saving your work as "thingy.doc" isn't sufficient. What you'd get is a document in OpenOffice format but with a Word extension. Instead you need to use File>Save As and then choose the relevant Word format from the drop-down list of available types. You also need to ensure that the little "Automatic file name extension" box is ticked (checked). Having doe this you'll have a document in Word format and with a Word extension. Your respondents should now be able to read your document. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org
