You do *not* need MS Word on your computer.
1. You can save the document in Word format on your system and then send
that. In OpenOffice Writer, for example, go to File>Save As ... and
choose the relevant Word format - there are several; you probably need
"97/2000/XP". Make sure the box labelled "Automatic file name extension"
is checked. OO will save the document with a ".doc" extension.
2. You can mail the document in Word format *without* saving it. Use
File>Send>E-mail as Microsoft Word. OO will fire up your e-mail client
and tell it to create a blank message with the document as an
attachment.
3. You can save the document in PDF format (which pretty much anyone
with any Operating System will be able to read/print) and send that. Use
File>Export as PDF
4. You can send the file in PDF format *without* saving it. Use
File>Send>E-mail as PDF .... Similar to #2 above.
5. You can try to convince your correspondents to install and use
OpenOffice. It's free :-)
