A note of caution interchanging documents.
For plain text sharing and editing documents is fine in a varietyof word 
processing apps. However when it becomes a table, and more so withembedded 
graphics then the file conversions between different word processorsis 
non-reciprocal.If you set up a document eg in MS Word, post it to anotherword 
processor. Add and remove a space to force a new save and send it backthen 
whilst it looks fine the two files are different.

It can be a time bomb.

We used to prepare documents, text and formulae in tables inMS Word which 
colleagues would edit in whatever system they had.  After a few rounds the 
table format wouldcrash rendering the document useless.
After some 'fun' we repeatably demonstrated the problem. Itwas not necessarily 
the very last format conversion that caused the problem,omitting an earlier 
change made 'this' change work as expected.  The faulty document looked OK but 
failed thenext, or next but one, change of platform.
