To help you to better understand your current situation, note that if you keep saving in .doc format, there is NO guarantee *today* (unless your files are really simple) that: *) if you did it with OO.o, MS Office will open them without losses *) if you did it with MS Office, any other application will open them without losses That's why there is a petition to add OpenDocument support to MS Office. To get rid of this problem for good. Have you already signed it?
