I have to send my documents to editors and reader all the time. None of them
have OpenOffice. Just save the odt file as Word 97/2000/XP and they'll be
able to open it no problem. If you don't want them to be able to change the
document, only read it, make it a PDF file and sent that. (PDFs are a lot
smaller than Word files, which usually end up around 2-3X the size of the
original one.

As for fonts, you can install Windows core fonts into Ubuntu by running
mttcorefonts through Synaptic Packager and you can use TNR or Century or
whatever are standard MS fonts.
