Well simply as put my model I made, (a simple crate) shows up in Msh viewer but not Zero Edit or in the game.

And I did make the ODF for it as well as place all the files in the maps folder, so that it could be read. I am wondering how to fix this.

Your odf was made improperly(i know since i saw myself) basic prop odf should look like this
I saw this in your odf really not sure how u made this pretty wierd but just use the odf base i put up there. place ur msh and tga in your worlds msh folder place the odf in your worlds odf folder. Add in zeroedit and ur object should appear

Now does this have to be in ODF format? Other wise I would do it in some thing like txt' cause then I could just use note pad.

And by the way that mess of scribles is because my word unit saved it incripted, so yeah I was using robert hofmen's guide on basic modeling, but I figure more text in the ODF (like you had) will not hurt it.

As long as I can use some thing like word pad then I am set I guess.

Open up notepad type in the odf code or paste it.
now click save as. in the scroll down box select txt. now u must do this
pick your location and put .odf at end of ur files name

say like crate.ODF
not a scroll down
but manually put it at the end
