No, between OpenOffice and MSWord. I haven't been able to run MSWord on my Linux desktop, have you ?

Linux on the desktop Posted Mar 17, 2006 3:27 UTC (Fri) by pflugstad (subscriber, #224) [Link] Sorry, I wasn't clear.
My point was that even between different versions of microsoft word, word itself has umm, issues, with importing/exporting to the different versions. We're seeing this now between Word 2002 and Word 2003: Word 2003 is being rolled out across our enterprise slowly so we're having lots of cases where multiple versions of Word are being used to edit docs and we're running into formatting problems. It is my understanding that this is nothing new w.r.t. Word.
So for anyone who complains that OOo doesn't do this "perfectly", just point that even Microsoft Word itself sometimes (often?) has issues.

I didn't know MSWord had such problems of its own (I haven't used MSWord for years now ...) That seems like a pretty big deal to me. I will definitely keep it in mind, thanks!
Linux on the desktop Posted Mar 23, 2006 1:19 UTC (Thu) by showell (subscriber, #2929) [Link] It gets even funnier,
Although word 2003 won't open some docs from word 2002, OpenOffice will! My company is totally MS oriented but I keep a copy of ooo close just so that I can read all those word 2002 docs sent that have problems.
