If you have sent a document to someone but they are unable to open the document, it is likely that they are using Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office can not currently open documents created in the default GNOME Office format.
You can save your documents in a different format so that Microsoft Office users can open them:
Open a document in a GNOME Office application
Press
→Press Save file as type and select a Microsoft format from the list. For example, choose Microsoft Word (.doc) if you have a text document.
Press
and then send the file to people as normal.
