You probably want to go ahead and save that in compatibility mode or even in an .rtf or .txt format. Not everyone has Word (or a word reader), much less Word '07.

Everything ODFs. From Effect Odfs, to Props, to Damageable Buildings, to Turrets, to Vehicles, to Units, to Weapons, and more.

For those who don't have Word '07 you can download the Word Viewer from Microsoft:

You'll also need the MS Office Compatibility Pack:

it's more easily organized in word, plus i can get bullet points and bold in word.

What's so bad about getting the Word viewer and compatibility pack? They're free...

Tho I guess that's a bit of a hassle for a tutorial...erg...maybe ill have to figure something else out...but that would be even more of a hassle trying to do it in notepad...maybe wordpad could do it...

Well, I looked over this, and I have to say, this is just plain awesome.
Most of the stuff I knew already, but this is by far the best guide to odf's I've seen.

Trust me it was a lot more trouble trying to explain all this stuff again and again and again to the tons of people who are begging me to teach them how to sides edit.
