@Notjohn, st_albert - I'm not sure which OpenOffice you're referring to, but if it's Apache OpenOffice then it can save DOCX.

I too read that LO is better at PDF, but my experience is contrary to that, for me Word is better. I had a couple of documents where PDFs from Word were sub-prime, they required further editing in Acrobat. The PDFs from Libre and Apache Writer were both significantly worse.

But I suspect that's a result of 30 years of using Word versus limited usage of Writer, and most of that was in OOo on Solaris, which reflects st_albert's assertion : "An artist needs to understand his tools."
