HI :) Ok, so my 5th option wasn't great. I didn't realise how restrictive those wonderful MicroSoft products are. The odt is fairly fine in Windows on MSO 2007 & 2010. Perhaps stick with the remaining 4 options especially the one about passing people the link to download LibreOffice. At least you don't have to uninstall MS Office to install LibreOffice!
