We are all volunteers who donate our time to this project. It sounds as though you are unfamiliar with how mailing lists work. Once you subscribe you get all mail sent to the list. You can ignore what you want as you wish.The other way is to unsubscribe from the list. The link to do that is at the bottom of every e-mail from the list.

Re: Migrating from MSO
Stick with Microsoft. I spent more time than I cared to sorting this out & eventually replaced software & older much loved hardware at an extremely awkward time. Not helped by a troll & disappearing & impossible to copy emails. (If you get a bizarre email sent to you personally through this group print it out as proof) Still love OO but eventually...

Re: Migrating from MSO
OpenOffice does currently have Issues with complex docx, xlsx, pptx documents. For better migration results you need to save documents in doc, xls or rtf formats. If you need modern Document File support you might want to look at other alternative Office Products.
