Serious Problems with Open Office and E.Mails.

[NORMAN <t1...@btinternet.com>]

Hello,
PLEASE PLEASE, HELP !!
I have had Open Office s/w for a number of years, upgrade whenever there 
is an offer and my running s/w is Windows 7. I use the word processing 
facility exclusively. Now my problem which has dogged me from the very 
beginnings of my useage of your s/w.
I write a letter, two sides of A4 long. I click! SAVE and then go into 
the Internet and using BT as my ISP write an e.mail to the recipients of 
my letter, click "Attachments" , go into Documents, find the letter, 
click it, and its Name/Ref. appears at the top of the e.mail. Then all 
done .....I click "Send" and I am told it has been sent succesfully.
But it has not......the recipients tell me it cannot be opened, can only 
be opened with a great deal of jiggery pockery, has a corrupt message 
attached............
As you can imagine it is driving me crackers. Is there anyway you can 
help , PLEASE ?
Thank You
Norman Viles

If they do not need to edit the document, export as PDF and send that.  If they do need to edit the document, Save As MS Word 97/2000/XP format (select from the dropdown on the /File /Save as dialog) and make sure "Automatic file name extension" is checked on that dialog.  This will open in any version of MS Word since 1997; more recent versions of MS word (post 2007?) will open .odt (OpenOffice's native format) files directly.
