Hello guys,

Why don't developers make some plugin for MS Office so it could open
*.odt and other OpenOffice files?

It's a problem, when someone make and send *.otd file in a e-mail, when
receipent doesn't have OpenOffice installed.
Often a receipent don't know or doesn't want to install OpenOffice suite
so he could open OpenOffice files (*.odt for example)
So our OpenOffice document creator is forced to save it in a *.doc
format so receipent could read it...
OpenOffice *.doc is not 100% compatible with MS Office *.doc so our MS
Office receipent often sees OpenOffice *.doc with some formatting
errors.

New MS Office 2007 has a new *.docx format which OpenOffice cannot open.

This problems maybe could be solved by making an plugin for MS Office
which would enable MS Office to open OpenOffice formats.
Our MS Office receipent then would install tiny plugin and could open
OpenOffice sender's file with no problem.
Sender could even send this plugin in attachent.

Think about it.

Best regards,
