I'm attaching the document in Word format -- so it isn't the files
themselves that are causing the problem. I hope a reinstall works for
you, that sounds like the best bet. You might try uninstalling first, in
case the problem is with a control file that would be duplicated in the
new install.

Dear Barbara
Thanks once again!
Document not able to save in Word, as you requested!
I may try a NEW DOWNLOAD of Open Office to see if that will clear this
problem.
Best wishes!

Hope somebody on the list can help. I've had the message you're
getting, but when I went ahead with the save it had the .doc
extension and was completely usable by the folks I sent it to. So
you're selecting the XP format, the automatic filename extension
option box is checked, and yet the file gets the .rtf extension, and
it can't be opened when you send it? Even if the extension comes out
as .rtf, that's a format that Word (and just about every other word
processing program) can open, although the quality may not be too
good. I sure have never seen anything like the behavior you're
describing.
Attachments to the list don't always get through (though your title
page .doc did get to me). You can try sending a file that you had
trouble with and see if we can help.

Thank you!
No, the Save As extension drop down menu is not the problem - it
invites a series of Microsoft Word save options, but when one of
these are used to save in doc, a window appears " This document may
contain Formatting or content that cannot be saved in MS Word/200/xp
file format.....
Click yes....
Click no....
The Open Office Writer document is then always saved in RTF File
which cannot be opened by my users.
Any advise?

Gentlemen
After using Open Office for a year or so, I am afraid that unless
you have information regarding my recent inability to save my OO
Writer documents "save as" Word (doc) I will be forced to purchase
the Microsoft Word Program software once again. I have tried every
"help" menu you offer but I can not find out why this is now
happening after a long period of being able to use OO to save my
documents in doc. I do not like Microsoft and do not want to take
this step but I have no option. Can you save me from
Microsoft?

If your problem is that others no longer seem to be able to open
your documents, rather than that there is an error when you try to
save them, you have probably accidentally unchecked the automatic
filename extension option in the Save As dialog. If the filenames
no longer end with .doc, they are not being recognized as Word
documents.
