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.
