Unfortunately they would all choose to use MS Word so I'm not keen on suggesting it. Also, MS Word isn't available for Linux even if I wanted to use it (although I might be able to run it using virtualization or whatever). We all need to exchange easy-to-edit documents. I thought that I might be doing something wrong that I could easily fix. I don't understand how OOo chooses which font to use for Greek letters. Also, I don't understand why I can type in certain font names like Times New Roman and Symbol even though these font names do not show up in the pull down font list.
