great.

That reminds me...i don't know if i'm allowed to make an official
statement, so regard this as inofficial. ;-) Just writing it because it
may be a good encouragement for others...

I never got a MSO license from my workplace, being a freelancer and
hence considered external...and created layouted documents in OOo
exporting to .doc for my company (I'm a graphics designer.).

After doing that for about a year we got a new marketing director, who
is gladly open to opensource and was familiar with OOo. From there it
was a pretty minor step to encouraging the general use of OOo for the
required documents. Just one longish eMail explaining the benefits of
the more stable layout (MSO shifted things all the time).

OOo got installed on the computers of the involved employees and the
workflow uses native ODF now.

André.
