You're not getting what we're saying. MSO can still save however it wants to. OO.o only takes over the file associations. What this means it that when you double click a file, it opens in OO.o rather than in MSO like it used to. This doesn't limit MSO in any way; you can still open Start/All Programs/MS Word and open the file (or Xcel or Powerpoint or whatever)
