Title says it all. I'm looking especially at discrepancies of formats, structure when saving into Microsoft Office formats.
Is Open Office of any use if I had to create documents and presentations with it - say for university and/or for work - and wanted others (particularly my professor / boss, using MS Office) to be able to read it in perfect quality (= without flaws and errors)?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings, Fragbait

I have used the Linux version and found it to be just about the best office software I personally have ever used. It has M$ beat hands down, and I don't remember specifics, but it will open just about any file ever. As I seem to recall there are also pluggin type things to allow it to open some special files. As far as I know, it will save in to .doc files and M$ office standard files just fine. You can even preserve the formatting and layout. I know I have sent some folks some spreadsheets made in OO and they were able to open them just fine in M$, but M$ is missing a few features that OO has, so if you use those features, nobody will know.
Most of the time I just use Text Edit, but I am old fashioned like that. OO is very nice though.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
