Hi Anne, Openoffice has its own proprietary format as well, but it doesn’t force us to use it. It would be simple just to have the format menu in the save as dialog include word as well but it doesn’t and the result? if you don’t know what you do you’ll end up with 2 versions of the same document, one in Apples own format which you can edit direct but which no other word processor can do anything about and a word document which many word processors including Word of course, Openoffice, Libreoffice and possibly a few more can work with.
