This is some reading that I found recently that makes it easier for OpenOffice and Word to exchange files a little more seamlessly. This has become more important as I am consulting in an environment that is a strict MS user – and being able to have documents that open seamlessly in the MS Word applications is probably the trickiest aspect of being an OpenOffice user.

It suggests that you tweak a number of default options with regards to saving and use of VBA, as well as other compatibility settings. I hope that it assists with some of your issues.
Make sure Word, OpenOffice.org Writer play well together

My name is Stephanie Krishnan and I'm passionate about the way that open source software and its community can help small businesses and individuals with their productivity and lives. One of the biggest arguments I get from business owners, however, is lack of support options. I decided to put together my own support blog to help people be productive at various levels with one of my favourite open source alternatives: OpenOffice! I do this through tutorials, downloadable templates and answers to questions from readers!
