Not a problem...
All the more reason to use OpenOffice. The tighter Microsoft squeezes, the more people will want to escape. They can't seem to get that through their sleazy skulls though.

Anyone with a decent thought process would come to the conclusion that OpenOffice is not a problem. It's Microsoft that is the problem. By making their information proprietary, they once again attempt to control what we can all do with our computers (use their monopoly to force use of Office software). NO software company should be allowed to do that.

>>The problem here is that Microsoft has seen OpenOffice as a threat and has made Office files format proprietary. <<
