Belatedly working my way through things on the Marketing Project's

Comparison of OpenOffice.org 2 and MS-Office 2007
http://www.openoffice.org/product/docs/ms2007vsooo2.odt
also in PDF:
http://www.openoffice.org/product/docs/ms2007vsooo2.pdf
Looks like a useful place from which someone can extract info to fill
in an extra column (or replace the current column for MSO 2003) in the
comparison tables in Chapter 1 of the Getting Started book. We also
need to check that the info for OOo in those tables needs any
amendment for v3.0. (I don't know whether Sun/OOo will be updating
this document for v3.0. Does anyone here know?)
A related question: the tables compare OOo with WordPerfect Office X3,
but that should be updated to WPO X4. More research needed, probably
on Corel's website, unless someone knows of a Sun or OOo document, or
any other source, with that info in it.
Any volunteers (please!) to update those tables?

Is there really any value in a broad-brush listing of the thousands of
functions of one suite, say, MSO that can be done on OOo or not? One
would have to be expert on one or both Word or OOo in the first place in
order to understand much of the list. My eyes would glaze over after
going 1/10 the way through such table listings.
I believe that the Migration Guide should revolve upon the usual
authoring/editing functions that pose problems going in direction or the
other. As I mentioned before: a nested table originated in Writer will
not convert to Word, although it would appear OK as a DOC file using
Writer. So, it would be advantageous to know in advance what to avoid
with one application that won't work with another application. These are
typically only learned through experience: either one's personal
experience or one derived from reading about them. The Migration Guide
should serve this latter function, in addition to whatever else it does.
