Good to know there is at least one other on MR who likes Open Office. Oh, By the by, Have you ever converted a document to PDF with open office and read it on your iLiad? I would assume it reads it well enough.
I read you can now Read DOCX on Open Office 3.0; however, you can not save it in .docx format. Also, it seems that the Open Document Text odt... which Microsoft will also include in Office 2007 by early next year is meant to be the epub of documents...I wonder if it will catch on.

I haven't downloaded 3 yet. I got their followup email this morning saying that a lot of people had though...such a huge number that the servers had to have a stop-work meeting (I think that means a doughnut and a coffee  ). They seem fine now though.
