Of course, this turns out not to be the case -- my MSWord sends me to Notep
ad to open them.  But whatever.

MS Word can open .odt files, since the format they're stored in is 
defined and open to all to use.  The .doc/.docx format is proprietary,
and must be reverse-engineered for others to use, with no guarantee that
they have it right.  The Open Document Format is a much better choice.
