Hi :)
If only you could be strict with those people and demand 
1.  a Pdf so you can see how it's meant to look
2.  Images as separate files in image formats
3.  The article in .doc format
For me that would be just about perfect.  

Even with .docs the formatting some people fall into is fairly insane but at least i can 
paste-as-unformatted text and then fix it.  If they give the Pdf i stand some chance of getting 
reasonably close.  

A local magazine wants us to send them an advert in .doc format and our art-work (logos etc) also 
in .doc format?!?!!?  wtf?  Luckily they claim to like scalar vector formats so i'm sending them 
.EPSs instead.  I can't read eps myself (the colours go weird and/or dotty) so it might be 
interesting to see what result i get.  

Regards from
Tom :)

One feature I miss isn't actually a feature in MSO as such, but LO behaves
differently. If I open a spreadsheet from an email or the web it places a
copy in the download folder/directory and Calc always opens it read-only
whereas Excel opens it as read-write. I would like at least an option to
get Calc to open it as read-write. To do so I have to save a copy
before I start, and as I do this around 100 times a day it becomes quite an
irritant.

Could you tell which features do you mean, exactly?
I am always interested in such comparisons. People all over the web say
"LO is
missing some features", but such statements tend to not be supported by
descriptions of features in question.

This thread has deviated 100% from its initiation, but in its present 
guise,
I offer this, re MSO:  I am the editor of a small Newsletter 
(circulation ~1000)
and I am sent copy in .dos format that was made by MSWord on a Mac.
Most often, none of the programs I have on Linux will correctly open
the files. OO, LO, and Symphony all print the copy pushed off the the right
and over the edge of the page margin. Nothing will salvage the file and
make it useful.  WordPerfect (XP or Win7) will write them perfectly.
A similar situation exists for the supposedly universal .rtf files, except
they are sometimes even worse to make readable than .doc files. I no
longer accept .rtf files at all.
