Re: [PLUG] multi-user staroffice

I create and edit documents on OOo and SO and save them to .doc and
distribute them at work. So far nobody has been able to tell the
difference. (This includes taking .doc files, editing them, and saving
them back to .doc). Mind you, none of these are super-complicated, but
many of them have tables, etc.
My girlfriend used SO for a time to compose docs, save them as .doc, and
take them into school to print out. This resulted in formatting problems
because:
a.) Different printers used at home and school.
b.) Different fonts.
