Yes, I can see having LO/OO.o saving in MS formats by default for
accessibility for others. That is (unfortunately!) the reality.

AMEN!!!

I've started a new position and am **trying** -- I really am -- to get
used to that damn ribbon. But it is *really* slowing me down. I'm
really close to installing LO just so I can get some work done. It
took me nearly 10 minutes the other day just to get the paragraph
