Sharing files between OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office
Bruce Byfield continues his series of very useful OpenOffice columns at Newsforge with Sharing files between OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office.
“In OpenOffice.org version 2.0, importing and exporting Microsoft Office files is much easier than in earlier versions. However, many features of OOo are completely or partly unsupported in Microsoft Office. Many of these unsupported features are simply dropped when a file is converted. Your success in exchanging files depends largely on knowing which features are supported.”
Also, the majority of issues he discusses will still be a problem if you move a document from MS Office on one machine to MS Office on another, so this information will be helpful for those circumstances as well.
