OpenOffice.org is capable of saving files in many formats, but the most favorable is this format. Saving in other formats, such as MS Office, will result in formatting errors due to the fact that the files have to be reverse engineered (which is legal) and then a filter built to create the file. However, you do not have to keep these files on your system. Select Send... which will bring up a secondary menu and then select Send as Doc. This will envoke the save feature but the file is saved to an attachment which is placed in a mail message in the system mail client, which could be Outlook, Thunderbird or another program. You then compose a message and send it.
