I agree. My wife is a state employee and she sends me all of her word 
docs and excel sheets and I haven't had problems with them in OOo. I 
even do her travel expense reports for her on my desktop. The only 
issues I've had is that when they send a new updated template that is 
supposedly changed (by a "Power User") how it does things, it never 
fails to come through as broken and I wind up having to redo all of the 
formulas and macros changed so that it'll do things the way the powers 
to be want it done. It never works right on her laptop (M$ XP), so it's 
not in the translation process that it breaks.
