OpenOffice.org saves files in the standard Open Document Format. M$ Office doesn't recognize this format but OpenOffice.org (being vastly superior ;-) ) is capable of saving files in a non-standard format that M$ Office can read. To do this, just change the "file type" on the "save" dialogue to ".doc" when you save your files. M$ Office, users will also be able to open the files. If the recipients do not need to edit the file, it is probably better to send it as a PDF file. Save it as an Open Document Format file first (in case you want to edit it later) and then select "export as PDF" from the "file" menu to create a PDF copy.
