There maybe a problem if the Windows 2007 option is not used as earlier version of word may not be compatable, ie saving as Word 2010 and then a company using 2007 tries to open it. So if your daughter sticks with the .doc 2003/2007 save options it should be fine. (Oh yes it always helps to have the option in ms file manager switched to the option which shows file suffixes, so one can't accidently send an ODF insted of a doc version).
