The problem is in fact that the MS-Office formats are so much of a standard. If the accepted benchmark for switching over to OOo is 100% MS-Compatibility then I'm quite sure that people will have similar experiences to yours.

What I find frustrating is that people see nothing special in sending around binary blobs of data in a proprietary format, requiring me to jump through endless hoops to be able to diplay them properly, whereas they are unwilling to install software available for free that uses an openly documented format.

Somebody should write a ODF-plugin so that MS-Users are able to participate in open communication. Surely a "please resend as odt" should be acceptable to most people...
