I agree with Gary's thoughts. I think that it is important for OOo credibility for the converter to be as good as possible simply because so much of the commercial/official world believes that Word is the only WP in existence. The problem in my experience cuts both ways with Writer not reading some features in Word 2007 docs all that well. My own thought is that MSoft has actually increased the problems with each of its incarnations. Back in the days when the table function was not widely used (that is about four years ago) Word documents converted accurately between StarOffice and WordPerefect with the exceptions of each others tiny amounts of proprietory code such as smart quotes. My guess is that MSoft have increased the amount of proprietory code over the years and that have done so deliberately. Jim Nichterlein
That reminds me... MS Office Professional 2007 introduces new file formats not in use before. How or when OOo handle them?
