True, but . . . I routinely share motions, briefs, and other legal
documents with other attorneys. Most of them have never heard of OOo,
although the number that have is growing, thanks to myself, a couple
of other "evangelist" attorneys in the state, and a few folks at our
state appellate defender office who have recommended it at seminars.
Frankly, a lot of them are still running whichever version of MS
Office came out in 1998 or 2000 (I get lost in which version is which)
and they have no incentive to change. But if I send any of them an ODF
file, they'll have no idea what to do with it. Therefore, I routinely
save things in .doc format for them. (Our internal files are all saved
in ODF, but . . .)

It's all about knowing your audience.
