I'm having difficulty sending e-mails with open office attachments. The
attachments are sent but then can't be read by the recipient. Am i saving the
files in the wrong format? What should I be doing? Any help gratefully received.
By default, OpenOffice.org saves in ODF formats, which include .ODT for
text documents or .ODS for spreadsheets. If someone is using Microsoft
Word, they likely won't be able to open it. What you'll want to do is
send the file in Word (.DOC) format. You can do this by clicking on
File>Send>E-mail as Microsoft Word. If you only expect them to read the
document and not make changes, you could always send as PDF instead. Of
course, the best solution would be to get them to use OpenOffice.org or
other application that can work with ODF files.
Also, if you prefer to save the file and then attach it to an e-mail,
you'd select the appropriate Microsoft Office format. Also, ensure
automatic file name extension is selected.
