All of the MS Word/Powerpoint power users that I know that use Word/Powerpoint 
for business purposes won't switch to SO or OO for the reasons you described 
above: Complex files generated in MS Word and Powerpoint are  mangled when
displayed in OO and SO.

All of these same people tell me if OO or SO fixed this they would leave the 
MS platform like rats jumping from a sinking ship.
