I have found a good strategy to make the transition to OpenOffice is to keep Office working for some months, saving the docs by default in not-Office standards, such as rtf for word docs. You may then try installing OpenOffice for Window$ for some other months, and finally make the switch to Linux desktops running OpenOffice for Linux.
That's how we are doing the shift here. Best regards, -Manuel. -----Original Message----- From: "Anthony E.
