I just installed OO.o 2.1 on my Windows XP/SP2 system. I created a test Impress file and a test Writer document. When I tried to save the Impress file as a Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt) file, I got a warning message about the open file containing stuff incompatible with PowerPoint format. When I tried to save the document as a Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP, I got a similar message. When I opened a Microsoft Word .doc file with Writer and then just tried to save it back in that format with no change, I still got the incompatibility message. Repeating that experiment and actually saving the file did, in fact, corrupt the .doc file.
Are the OO.o programs and file formats totally incompatible with Microsoft's? Or is there some option or setting that I need to use to make this work?
