Jean, I'd suggest that before creating such a page or launching such a
project, that it might be a good idea to check to see if the Sun developers
already have something like this that could be made public. They have folks
who work full time on MS Office compatibility via both the binary and Ecma
376 formats. Bugs at either end of the round trip are undoubtedly a subject
of great interest to them.

You and some of the other respondents are looking at this in quite a different (and more complex) way than I was, which means that I wasn't very clear in my previous note to this list.

What I have in mind is a not-terribly-long document (30 pages?) outlining "things you can do to make your docs work more reliably" for ordinary OOo users needing to share docs with MSO users. IIRC, Solveig Haugland (or perhaps it was Bruce Byfield) have something on a blog that's along the lines I'm thinking of. I must try to track it down (and hope I'm not totally imagining it).

The short story here is that a wiki page is not, in my opinion, a sane solution to the problem at hand.

Perhaps not, but for the purposes of putting together a how-to document for users, it seemed a good place to list the things that are relevant to such a document. My memory of questions on the Forum and the [users] list suggests that there is a short list of biggies for users. Those are the ones I would want to address.

And, perhaps, this isn't a project worth pursuing, because of the complexity and the moving target.

Gary, if you're reading this thread, I'd be interested in your take on it.
