[Solved] Converting .odt to .doc?

[BloggsF]

I'm not sure whether a letter with .odt extension can be read by people I email who don't have Open Office. I've tried converting them to the .doc extensions in the Save popup but they don't convert the heading which contains a graphic. What should I do to get a proper conversion to the latest .doc/Word format?

Send them the document using Export as PDF, choosing PDF/A-1a on the general tab of the Export dialog. They won't be able to edit it, but that is usually what one wants with a letter

Thanks for the suggestions already made. I think I can get round this problem now.
