What is MS office<->Open Office document support like? Would I have any hope of exporting a complex doc from one to the other and back, and have it still looking like it should? I'd love to switch, but most of my clients use office and if I cant exchange documents with them painlessly I can't contemplate the move.

I've recently been caught looking a bit of a fool in relation to this ...

I was using open office on my main machine and noticed some errors in the documents ... got back to the origin about it and was told it was fine for them ... opened it on another machine with 2007 and hey presto it was all there.

Another client just mailed on a doc and the formatting was very screwed on it in open office ...

So its great but there are differences
