They are fine for 2.0.4 and 2.1 though To provide documents to Word users you can do one of 4 things: 1. Use File>Save As and select the relevant Word format (there are several in the list of possibilities) to save your document in Word format; make sure the "Automatic filename extension" box is selected; simply saving the file with a ".doc" extension is not sufficient. 2. Use File>Send>E-mail as Microsoft Word to e-mail your document in Word format without saving it. 3. Use File>Export as PDF to save your document in PDF format which even a Microsoft user will be able to read, but not edit. 4. Use File>Send>E-mail as PDF to e-mail your document in PDF format without saving it. Microsoft Office is deficient in that it cannot read/write the International Standards Organisation's (ISO) Open Document Format (ODF) which is what OpenOffice (OO) uses by default. On the other hand, OO can happily read all except the most complex Word documents and can write all except the most complex documents in Word format. If you still insist on uninstalling OpenOffice, go to Control Panel>Add>Remove Programs>Remove. Ensure you exit all OO components first, especially including the Quickstarter (see OO Help).
