Not quite so. While OO.o and the like are very close counterparts to MS Office, there are a few items they just can't do yet (at least not that I've found), like inter-document linking and embedding between all documents. This was the killer when I took this road with my employer. I had everything lined up and ready then this little thing came up. The best I was able to do was actively embed a spreadsheet within a document and vice versa. Had the other components of OO.o been able to do the same everything would have been fine. However, as far as I can tell, they can not. The closest I was ever able to come with the other components was a static embedding. -- Jamin W.
