<div dir="ltr">Another point to notice is that there is no such format as MS word format. Each version has a different format and sometimes one can not open the documents that was sent to him in this format.<br>I have seen many cases where OpenOffice opened files that people who had a version of MS-word could not open.<br>

<div dir="ltr"><span>Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm about to meet my daughter's school principal on the subject of the formats of documents the school spreads around routinely, like the weekly schedule. In short - they are using .DOC MS Word format and I don't like it as I cannot cleanly open those documents on my computer (which runs Ubuntu).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Although I'm quite old in the Linux world and probably heard over the years most of them - still I prefer having a refreshment of all the arguments in favor of moving to more open or at least affordable (e.g. PDF) document formats.</div>
