There are difference, OpenOffice has reversed engineer the MS Office
code, hence
conversions will always has minor problems.
OpenOffice is implemented in many large companies and governmental
institutes.
OpenOffice give you all the functionality that MS Office has, but it
could take time to
learn to work with Styles.
If you need 100% compatibility or if you need to work on documents with
partners
who use MS Office stick with MS Office.
The real question is: Can you achieve your goals with OpenOffice and that's
something only you can answer.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Kindly provide us your comments for the following at the earliest.
(a) Formatting (color size, shapes, etc.) may change once MS word document is
opened in Open Office.
(b) Sometimes behaviour of open office is uncertain when using Smart Art & Word
Art styles (of MS Power point, excel).
(c) Animation of MS Powerpoint slides does not always work as desired in Open
Office.
(d) Although macros are supported in Open Office but the Macros created using
MS Office cannot be executed in Open Office.
(e) Some of the features that are easily available in MS Office could not be
found in Open office such as;-
(i) Spelling / Grammer check
(ii) View files side by side with Synchronous scrolling
(iii) Converting the impress document into PDF results in the printing of all
hidden slides too. But in MS Office, the hidden slides are not printed even
when it is converted into PDF.
An early reply will highly be appreciated.
