Hello Frank,
The first problem is Microsoft Word is not capable of working the ODF
files which are an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 26300). This is an issue that
Microsoft is aware of and are in the process of making a plug-in to
support this but only for Office 2007.
Your options are various.
1. Tell the person you are sending the document to about OpenOffice and
they can download a copy for free.
2. If the person doesn't have to edit the document, use the export
feature and save the document as a pdf file.
3. If the person needs to edit the file, then you can send the file as
a Microsoft Word compatible file by using File > Save As and save the
file as a Microsoft Compatible File. But be warned that you may lose
some formatting as Microsoft documents cannot handle all the formatting
that is available in OpenOffice. This is very true around graphics.
I do this all the time.
