Yes, of course I will do that if I encounter any problems. My question was, rather, whether known problems are compiled into a list somewhere, not necessarily officially. It’s quite common to have a file of that sort; Emacs, for example, has such a file. Incidentally, I am certainly not saying that there *ought* to be such a file. It looks as though the bug database is indeed the closest thing to what I was looking for. > Your long-term goal should be to move all remaining MS Office > installations to OpenOffice, so you don't have the uncertainty of file > compatibility hanging over your head.

Naturally, but I don’t really have any influence in this case, I am afraid.
