<br>
If not, consider exporting PDF. They will get a high-fidelity,
but read-only "printed" version of your doc. That's what I do,
most of the time.<br>
<br>
If they need to edit your documents, consider using a more
primitive format. Rather than .docx or .xlsx, use .doc, .rtf,
.html, .txt, .tdv and so on. Maximize the ratio of information
to decoration.<br>
<br>
Consider having another person, someone that can send documents
everyone can use, originate all the documents, so that you're
editing their format, rather than them editing yours.<br>

<font size="+1">Gang,<br>
<br>
I have been a "clue" for about 15 years. I am on a Board
made up of Mac and Windows users. I need to share files
with all of them. However, when I save a LibreOffice Writer
or Calc file as docx or xslx, a couple of them cannot open
it. One of them claims to have Windows 8.x, while the other
has a Mac laptop.<br>
<br>
I have spent the better part of today trying various options
to save a file from Calc because of various "default"
permissions settings using umask and other things, as
suggested from Google searchs. Nothing seems to work. <br>
<br>
My problem seems to be that I sometimes forget to change the
permissions of a file before I attach it to an e-mail. Even
then, this week, the Mac user has been unable to open a
spreadsheet, possibly because her program has some default
setting.<br>
<br>
Help!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
