My experience is that MS word does not play well with docs created by openoffice, and libreoffice. I have sent such docs to people who emailed me back and said my doc was unreadable by MS word. There is however another Linux free word doc editor: abiword Just run sudo yum -y install abiword It has limitations, but for text only papers, it seems to work OK. Paginations might not behave the same as on MS word. Good luck. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
