> One minor point here...OOo also supports writing to docx format.

I checked my OOo, dev m95 (3.4), it doesn't support save as "docx" and 3.3 rc8 (3.3 m18) also doesn't support 
"docx" in save as.  What version are you using that supports docx?



Also, for what it's worth, saving as a docx to me is a bad idea.  I've imported doc files 
extensively in the past, straightened them out to view properly, saved as an odt, then saved as a 
doc again only to find some different formatting doesn't come out correctly with the doc.  I 
suspect docx will be worse.  I have got many people in the past to convert to OOo.  I will now 
promote them to Libreoffice.  I cannot move over myself as I use Solaris 11 Express (similar to 
Opensolaris) which there is no port.
