It can even be problematic exporting Word to Word: if there's some subtle difference in the other guy's setup then you can have trouble (especially if it's a different version of Word). Even so I reckon it's safest to handle like with like. However, I'd be most interested to hear of experience with Applixware (and what about StarOffice?). Cheers, Ted.
