Just for the record - the only time I've had trouble with MS Word
documents in Open Office - if I export FROM OPEN OFFICE to html - it
displays fine in Mozilla.

But anyway - before I had Open Office I would send the person a tactful
e-mail explaining that I could not read their document because I do not
have Microsoft Office, and asked them to save it as html.

They do with no issues.
