It can even be problematic exporting Word to Word: if there's some subtle
difference in the other guy's setup then you can have trouble (especially
if it's a different version of Word). Even so I reckon it's safest to
handle like with like.
However, I'd be most interested to hear of experience with Applixware
(and what about StarOffice?).
