I have used OpenOffice in the past when it claimed to be 100% compatible with MS Word. Unfortunately, I discovered that it was not. When graphics such as drawings made with Word, pictures, or imported clip art were used, the formatting and display of these would break down.
If I fixed them, a tedious and time-consuming process, they would appear OK, until they were re-opened in Word, then they would be wrong again. This means they could not be exchanged with Word users. As a professional writer who submits most things in electronic format, this was unacceptable. Has new versions of OpenOffice addressed this incompatibility? Also, is there a utility to convert documents to and from Adobe .pdf format? Is there a way to test these things without first going to OpenOffice?
