If my information is correct I believe Microsoft have been doing a
rather dirty trick.
Their latest version of Office, Office2007 appears to save documents
in a form which requires a download from Microsoft to be able to read
it, .docx, and this is real nasty.
I run both Office2003 and openoffice.org and use both on my PC
(openoffice.org lets me convert documents to .pdf which I need from
time to time).
This means that legitimate Microsoft Office users such as myself have
to get a download patch from Microsoft and I'm not sure how far back
the patch works - there are still legitimate users of Office97!
I will be interested to see if the linux community come up with a
patch for openoffice.org which I am sure won't be able to open .docx
files.
In the meantime I would suggest that if Office97 offers the choice to
save work in older formats this should be considered as there must be
millions who need to be able to read .doc.
This must also affect other version office users?
