Hi Aisha
The folks who've replied are correct but....
Since you are a "person" (I know many very computer literate ladies) who expects her computer to do what it should, I'll keep it simple....
You create a document on your computer using Open Office "Writer" and save it.
Make sure that you use "Save As", and the file type option Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP is chosen.
Job done.
By the way if you open a name.doc file in OpenOffice and then directly save it (instead of using Save As), this should be OK.
For lots more help look at the web site: http://www.openoffice.org/
Have some faith as the Open Office package is very good but sometimes there aren't lots of people to help unlike MS Office.
If this doesn't sort it out then just send me a personal message, I have loads of time out here and would be glad to help ....
My motto - "Ditto" - if you saw the movie you'd understand.....
