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?

Thanks,
