That said I will try it again. Do you know of ANY thing that can go into an Excel spreadsheet or Powerpoint that OO does not handle perfectly? I have this one client that hires these kids out of college to do models and presentations that find the most obtuse Office feature. Drives me nuts but part of the job?
I personally haven’t run into compatability issues with MS Office...but then again, everybody we interact with uses OO.
There is a good help section at the website...

that has some info about MS Office compatability
good luck........
