What makes you think that Word is the "real thing"?
OpenOffice documents does not have any problems attaching to emails. You should save them as Word format so those unenlightened souls without OpenOffice can open the document.
If you are having problems with OpenOffice and email, you are likely to have the same problem with Word.
