I use StarOffice and OpenOffice back and forth all the time.  When I'm in a
hurry I use AbiWord.  The only problem I ever have is if someone has saved
multiple revisions of a .doc file and then email it to me and I open it in
Abi I can see the revision history, and it looks as though it was a monkey
typing!!!  Every spot where something was corrected after a save, both
instances show up..

Otherwise, everything is great, no problems at all.  We even have some with
Office 2000.
