Richard, an additional advantage of ODF is that essentially anyone can
read the file, whether they have OpenOffice.org installed or not. It is
the main format of many other packages. Despite earlier campaigns of
disinformation, ODF and OpenOffice.org are separate. OpenOffice.org is
a program, with development led by Sun/Oracle. ODF is a file format,
with development led by OASIS which has around 600 businesses,
government agencies, and universities taking part. Some two dozen take
an active lead in the development of OpenDocument.
If you are alluding to the unfortunate with MSO, then that legacy
application can be partially fixed through the use of Sun's plug-in:

PDF would be the appropriate format if printing is concerned.
