Seconded, and the round trip (Word 97 or 2000 - OO - Word 97 or 2000 - 
OO ... on different machines) works with my project documents; an 
incredible achievement by OO!

No problems apart from fonts not appearing antialiased; there's quite a 
bit of discussion on the openoffice.org mailing lists about this but no 
simple solution yet.

(I note that kword 1.2 beta 1 displays 100 per cent CPU usage and 
tremendous disk thrashing on trying to open some Word documents; time, 
I think, for everyone to come together, further perfect and distribute 
the OO Office filters, and stop reinventing the wheel).
