To Users: Seems that this is a case of proving a move to Linux would be
the answer!

Viruses can affect OO in the same way as MS Office (the chance of that

Formatting might be distorted (slightly or substantially) when saving in
non-native format (MS Office, for example) or opening non-native format.
Transmission has nothing to do with that.
The tech rep is has no clue or has it's own agenda (for example, trying
to avoid the need to support OO).

Hello,
I wish to use the Open Office - specifically, the program
that can best be compared to MS Word. .
However, I was just on the w/the manufacturer of my notebook
re: another issue.
Yet, your name came up.
The tech rep said that he has heard that Open Office
documents that are sent as attachments are subject to
viruses. Further, formatting might be lost when sent.
I find this hard to believe..
This is why I am writing.
Is this the case? Have their been problems?
Best,
Sean Edenburn
