I have Office 2003 at home, and I am given Openoffice at work. I emailed
some ".odt" files home so I could do some work, and I can't open them.

Maybe I just need to download Openoffice.

Thanks for any help

Alex

Download Open Office! Word has no compatibility with them. Or save from Open
Office in Word format.

Not wrong. Word doesn't have such compatibility. I merely didn't include a
reference to a third party tool given that Open Office is a free download
and that the OP wanted to do some work on company files at home, there is
simply no point in making this conversion, when the files can be edited in
the source application.
