Thank you for that reassurance. I was feeling a bit like Alice.

Just to put your mind at ease, no one is deleting your messages, I've
gotten them all. Maybe the OP was more complaining than really interested
in assistance. Who knows, but you've responded well to him, so you've done
your part.

Please confirm that you have read this message.
Or is somebody deleting my messages - the moderator?????

Someone has already answered how you can do this, but I want to clear
up
a misconception.
If MSOffice can't open an OpenOffice.org file, then it is MSOffice that
is not user friendly. The file format for OOo is completely open, so it
is trivial to make an import filter.
In fact, MS is doing so in order to satisfy a requirement of on US
state. However, they are not making it simple, because MS most likely
does not want you to use OOo.
This however, is not something OOo has any control over, since Office
is
made by Microsoft, and you are using Office to open an OOo file. Please
complain to them!
