I have transfered documents to MS office format, I have also imported an
application form from my local council which is in .doc format into
openoffice.org and it seems to work fine, even down to clicking check
boxes (it takes a few attempts to get it right), so to me things work
quite well (so credit to the team for that), the form usually has
tables etc so it's quite complex really.
I did write a how_to document on the subject, which is basically how to
save in a different format, however I know I sent it I just can't find
it within the documentation project files. perhaps at a later date we
can have a file export wizard, which guides you through the process of
saving a document or saving as a different file format, (a bit long
winded I know),
Most people accept cv's / resumes etc as pdf anyway, it's a nice idea to
e-mail and ask if that is ok first, but I think most people have pdf
reader, I know this is a difficult issue, but I have no real problems
with exchanging files, then again I don't really write complex
documents, but based on my experience with the application forms, I then
export them back to .doc or even just save as pdf and send back, and
explain to the person at the other end I don't have MS office, (for
financial reasons) but do use openoffice.org

Posts have indicated that REF can be used to exchange
files back and forth between OpenOffice and Microsoft
Office. (The "objection" seem to be that RTF was a M$
product) Can RTF files be exchanged back and forth
between OpenOffice and Office with no corruption
occuring?
Posts have indicated that Internet Explorer can be
used by Microsoft to open OpenOffice files. Can
Internet Explorer open OpenOffice files with no
corruption occuring? (If the answer is yes, then
Microsoft can receive amd modify OpenOfffice files.
The next question is to find out if OpenOffice can
share files with Microsoft when Microsoft opens a
OpenOffice file with Internet Explorer and sends a
Microsoft file back to the OpenOfficer user.)
OpenOffice can open Microsoft files. Is there any
corruption of the file when OO opens Microsoft files?
