[Solved] Setting OpenOffice to save as a Word Doc

[daccon]

While I know this question probably comes up a million times a day I have yet to find the answer. I have already installed open office on my computers but do not know how to set it up so that it automatically saves everything as .doc (I think that is the word way of saving). I have read that it can do that but I have yet to find the option.

Thanks everyone.

Tools > Options > Load/Save > General > Default file type

You can set a default type there for each type of document OOo creates.

Be sure you know what you're doing: saving in OOo's native ODF file format is the safest option.
