I have recently upgraded to windows XP.
I am using the Office org to write documents it then
saves the document in sxw format.
When I send document as an e-mail attachment the receiver
is unable to open the attachment.
How do I save the document to make this eaiser.
Thanks

"Office Org"? What's "Office Org"? Are you using Open Office? I
don't know much about oOen Office, but whenever you send an
attachment to somebody else, he can't read it unless he has
appropriate software installed that recognizes the file type you
send. Find out what software he has installed, and then see if
Open Office can save a document in a format he can read.

I would also suspect (since the MSBlaster virus) that
there may be some stronger rules on email (especially
attachments) on the recipient's end. You could also go
the opposite way and rename the extension to an unused on
(and ask the other end to re..uh..rename it back). So if
it's WakaWaka.Doc you rename it to WakaWaka.Doc.REN and
then have your buddy re..rename it to WakaWaka.Doc this
way the auto blockers in the email programs wont see this
as a possible threat and kill it.

Barry,
When you save your document, on the program header bar click 'file' then
'save as'.
There should be a space to put a title to the new document, and also a drop
down box titled 'file type'. Save in a widely recognised and usable format
such as '.txt', '.doc' or '.rtf', then send that as an attachment.
I'm not sure I have anything that would read an '.sxw' file either.
Hope this helps,
Chek
