Nick: I really hate to say this but I've got OO running on an Ultra-1 and 5 PCs. (I've also had it running on other versions of SPARC boxen...) I've been using OO for, I guess, about 5 years... The only version of MS Word that I have NOT been able to import from is the 2007 version. Fortunately, that version can save in different formats that OO CAN import. I've been passing documents back and forth between OO and MS Word at home and at $WORK w/o problem. I also have to admit that the number of 'problems' went down with OOv1.7 and really went down w/v2.0... I also have to say that these documents were just plain, vanilla documents w/o any special formatting (my daughters doing school documents...)
