Trouble open text document in word
People that I have sent Open Office text documents are unable to open in Word. Any suggestions what I can do differently on my end?

Hi and welcome to the community!
Have you read the Forum Survival Guide?
Which OpenOffice version are you using on which operating system?
What is the error people that try to open the documents are getting?
I assume you saved the documents using File > Save as and that you then chose Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) as file type in the saving dialog.
The native OpenOffice format .odt cannot be read by users of Microsoft Word unless they have the Sun ODF Plugin installed.
