Steve, what you say is true, with the caveat that word documents edited using openoffice and saved as word ".doc" documents, will not display correctly when viewed on windows using MS Word. I have done this several times - and decided to put up with it. It's only when I have to send those documents away to people who are not unix/linux clones users, then I resort to using MS word to edit and fill out those docs.
