However, Microsoft is not capable (without special add-ins, still under development) of opening or saving documents in the ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard file format, which is the default for OOo (OpenOffice.org). To share files between OOo and MS Office, you should use a file format recognised by both programs (eg. ".doc", ".rtf", "xls", etc.). Because most Microsoft created file formats are closed, secret and propriety, OOo's compatibility is not 100% perfect and (depending upon the document complexity) you may experience some formatting differences. I am forced to exchange documents with MS Office users on a daily basis and very rarely experience this issue. Hope this helps.
