Thanks Bob

I have now tried one suggestion, and am keeping yours in reserve if that fails!

If you feel up to it, you could try copying and pasting into a new
e-mail.

1) Start your e-mail
2) Open your document with the text you want to send.
3) Copy the text you want to send
You can left click (keeping the button down) at the start
of the text, drag with the mouse until you have highlighted
all the text you want to copy

Or
you can start the dragging
release the mouse button
go to the end of the text.
Go to the end of the text, hold the shift button down, and left
click the mouse.
Press control-c or simultaneously Alt E c
4) Go to the e-mail (Alt-tab key is a good way to change screens to
  another open programme.
5) Paste the text in - press Ctrl-v (or possibly Alt e v)

This should not give the library's software any problems

Best of Luck

To anyone who may be listening out there

I recently sent a letter to Bucks County Council re the opening times
for the Libraries Reserve stock -at the request of members.  After a
long interval with no reply, I re-sent it as an email attachment.  I
have now received a response saying that they cannot open the letter
in Open Office format, and could I send it again in a format
compatible with Word 2003.

I need help to do that.  I have tried saving the original letter in
what is listed  as a Word 2003 XML format, (which seems to be all it
offers me)  but it wont let me.

Any ideas ?
