So, if I want to send a text file as attachment, from the pull down

"save as". what format should I save the text so anyone receiving it

to read??
Hi Karen,
it is not necessary to save your current document to another format in
order to get it mailed to some other user. Just use the menu command
File -> Send and then choose the format.
That will work if the OS is correctly set up /and/ the users mailer
supports the operation - some don't.
The format needed will depend on what the recipient can read. If they
have OOo, then send a .ods or whatever; if you don't know what they
have, a pdf is possibly readable by most people (and will also stop all
but the most determined changing the file and its layout).
(My wife had a document sent to her recently - actually an msword
document prepared with Word I believe. MS's Word reader program here
rendered the whole lot as musical symbols; although fortunately OOo came
to the rescue. Strange and unexpected things can happen when exchanging
documents. No, not an April Fool!)
