/media/floppy/ 2. Microsoft respondents cannot open Linux OpenOffice.org 1.0 .sxw What can we advise them please .sxw

(This is a LINUX document).

Dear LINUX users and designers,

99.99% of our respondents use a Microsoft o/s which they tell us cannot open LINUX & OpenOffice.org attachments!

“Please resend as Microsoft document attachments they say!”

We want to promote Linux to our friends and contacts.

Because:

We want to send LINUX documents by e-mail because we want to write our documents in and USE Linux and work in Open.Office.

Please tell us what is the solution?

We are not IT people. We are applications users, who want to use our LINUX.

(We are using our Suse 9.1 .)

A further problem seems to be that attempts by respondents to open LINUX attachments, results in a warning that it cannot be scanned for virus and cannot be opened!

Can any of you IT experts help us lay aspiring applications users please?

Surely LINUX should be for all. Suse's statement is “Simply change”

(It does not seem so simple for us in this regard!)

Yours sincerely and kind regards,

Jackie and Jim.

NB It seems sheer madness to have to work in Microsoft now that we have LINUX!
