I deal with many users whose technical literacy is nil and think that to open or generate a MSOX format file you must have MSO 2007/2010. It is guerrilla marketing because eventually it comes out that I am not using MSO at all but can handle their file formats without difficulty. One of my goals is to say to someone I know it can be done because I do it regularly when I recommend LO to someone and it is not some marketing claim that needs to be verified.
