I am using OpenOffice 1.0. If I were just producing and printing
documents it would be fine, but sharing documents with uses of
MSWord is not feasible. OO frequently screws up formats, especially
tables. And sometimes I find that, after saving a file in Word format
and send it to a Windows user, it displays fine but attempting to
print causes Word to crash. This is pretty funny, but makes me
unpopular.
