Please do not top post: http://what-is-what.com/what_is/top_posting.html OOo cannot open doc files the way that the creator intended. They may be readable, but the formating is all wrong. On many documents with complex formating that makes them impossible to read. Additionally, I will not wait until they upgrade to teach them about document compatibility. I owe them nothing, rather, they recruited me to join their environmental club and it's _me_ helping _them_ with their projects. I expect that messages sent to me will be in a language that I understand and a format that I can open. Just as I would have demanded that documents not be sent in Turkish, I demand that they not be sent in doc files.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
