Each time we send friends attachments in OpenOffice it appears they cannot
open it.
Should they ALSO download OpenOffice, or can they use their MS Office?

OpenOffice, by default, saves in the ISO standard ODF formats, which
Microsoft refuses to support. There are a few ways around this. One is
to save your file in Word format. You can do this in Save as, by
selecting the appropriate format from the drop down list. Also, ensure
automatic file name extension is selected. You can also send directly
from OpenOffice, by clicking on File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word.
Of course, the best method would be to have them install OpenOffice or,
failing that, the Sun ODF plugin, which adds ODF support to Microsoft
Office.
