This can be a killer. I found fewer problems going from SO/Linux/@work
to Word97/Win9x/@work, than SO/home/Win9x to SO/Linux/@work primarily
because of different fonts and charsets.
That's why I suggested pre-conversion tweaking. If you can install the
fonts used by your word installation on your OO/SO/Linux computer, and
make sure you are using the same charsets as your winword coworkers,
you should be able to minimize the problems.
