Thanks, James. Your solution is just right. That's what I finally thought to do.

Then I saved it to a memory stick, put that stick into my desktop PC, and the
file wasn't recognized.

OpenOffice can save in Word format, but the default is the ISO standard
ODF format, including ODT for text documents, which Microsoft refuses to
support. You'll have to save in Word format. You can do this when you
use Save as and select Word from the drop down list. Also, ensure
automatic file name extension is selected.
