To the folks on the list in general -- for non-techie users looking
for a mac solution (and if you know what X11 is you qualify as
techie) -- no "regular" mac user is going to give Open Office a
second look with the hoops they have to go through to install (and
print). While I think 2.0 is very cool, I think Neo Office is a much
better solution for the average mac user. These are people who spent
extra $$$ on their computer because easy of use was important to them.
While I am throwing my 2ยข in -- if someone needs to read a .odt
document installing some flavor of Open Office is preferable to any
of the export/import choices. My guess would be that the idea of Mum
(slipped in one of them spare u's) reading this essay was to edit --
not for reading entertainment. Which rules out PDF and using an .doc
or .rtf means doing two conversions -- pretty much ensuring formating
issues.

My son has sent me his essay for me to review. It an .odt file. I'm
running Word on a Mac OSX and I can't open it. I've tried every
application I have, but no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
