Hi
When I send my open office files (.odt), they can't be opened. How can they be
opened?
Thanks,

I assume that what you mean is that you send .odt files to someone who
doesn't have OpenOffice. There are at least four ways to handle this:
1. Suggest that the person you're sending files to install OpenOffice
(it's free).
2. If the person on the receiving end has Microsoft Office, then you can
select the option to e-mail it as a Word document: File > Send > E-mail
as Microsoft Word.
3. Similarly, if you communicate frequently with people who have MS Word
but don't have OpenOffice, you can set your default file format to be MS
Word. Tools > Options > Load/Save > General
4. You can save the document as a PDF (File > Export as PDF) or directly
send the file as a PDF (File > Send > E-mail as PDF). If the person at
the receiving end does not need to edit the document, this is better
than saving as MS Word format, because nothing gets lost in translation
between OpenOffice and Word formats, as it occasionally does when
converting from OpenOffice to Word or vice versa.
Hope this helps.
