Hi,

I use both MS Office and Open Office, mainly for power point
presentations, and there are some incompatibilities. Some symbols in
equations created in Open Office won't display quite right, or at all,
in MS Powerpoint; also fonts aren't quite identical and it sometimes
messes up formatting.

Best,

Peter
