I recently read that someone had done some tests on formatting text
from/to MS Office. They found that changing the font to a particular
serif font got the formatting almost exact. Trouble is I can't remember
which Linux font it was, I'll keep looking for it.
Also they said M$ had changed the newer Office default font to a new M$
copyrighted font to stop people moving away from M$!!
It would be interesting to confirm both the above.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. I thought I'd try LibreOffice, so I added

Which reminds me, I spotted a neat way to add repos in Ubuntu that's
new. It may be old news to some, but you can do:-
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice
This will add the GPG key too.

Bye-Bye OpenOffice, Hello LibreOffice
I downloaded it from here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
Works OK, except that I haven't got rid of the file associations on xls
spreadsheets that I have. OpenOffice is no longer in the associations
list, But when I click on file in Dolphin, It tries to open it in
openoffice. I have to right click and select Libreoffice.
Oh, and it really B*ggered the formatting in a students docx file :>)
