[PLUG] OpenOffice vs LibreOffice

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

I installed OpenOffice 4.0 on the family PC at home (Win 7).  I haven't 
used Draw, only the word processor and spreadsheet applications.  In 
those, I haven't noticed any bugs, and the kids haven't mentioned 
anything either.

It can read the Office 2007 file formats (e.g. .docx) but does not save 
in them (only the older .doc).  So far this hasn't been a problem, but 
eventually it will be.  Some people have to operate in an MS ecosystem.

The LibreOffice page on wikipedia makes it sound as if it does support 
writing .docx, without explicitly saying so.
