I use OOo all the time as I no longer have access to a licensed copy of Word. When someone needs a Word format file (e.g. recruitment agent), I just save as Word and email it off.
A recipient of my resume (saved in *.doc format) has found that she cannot print the file from the (probably latest XML-based) version of Word on her computer. A newly created Word document prints fine and Adobe Reader and various other applications all print fine, but not my file. We tried saving to RTF, re-opening, and saving to *.doc again but no dice. Has anybody come across this phenomenon? What's the cause and what' the remedy? 

I will try again and also send a PDF but this is bizarre.
Bizarre, indeed. I have not come across (nor heard of) that before, so I don't know the cause nor the remedy. Does your file (saved in *.doc) print from an earlier version of Word? You could send it to me to test on my Windows machine (running MSWord 2000) if no one else can easily test it for you.
Just to check: can this person *open* (view) your file in her version of Word, but not *print* it? Or can she not even open it?
