Hi Tim,
Thanks for your note. I believe that my source was
http://www.idealware.org/articles/msoffice_vs_openoffice.php
- and specifically this:
"Interestingly, OpenOffice can open substantially older versions of
Microsoft Office files than Microsoft Office itself can, or even
some corrupted files that Microsoft Office can't open. For an IT
department, OpenOffice is worth having around just for that."
However, it would certainly be nice to confirm it. Does anyone have
anything else on this?

Hi David, I have nothing to add to the doc which I think provides a
suitable launchpad to interest management. One comment though:
Not only that, but MS Office 2010 and 2013 can't even open some
documents created in earlier versions of MS Office itself,
Do we actually have a reference point for this? If I was behind the
bosses chair and I could see the impact of upgrading MSO then this
would be a significant point.
Cheers

Hi,
I've completed a draft of my white paper making the business case for
LO over MS Office.
For now, for want of a better solution, I've branded it as part of
the LibreOffice Document Foundation and put it in its own folder on
the ODF site here:
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/white_papers/transition-from-ms-office-to-libreoffice-white-paper
For those who can't access it there, you can download a PDF here:

I'm interested in any and all comments, corrections and thoughts as
to how it could be put to good use. Perhaps someone might also
cross-post this email to [email protected] - I've
tried a couple of times to join up only to be steadfastly ignored (my
email mysteriously disappears down the Internet's terrifying, gaping
maw).
Regards,
David Clinton
