Unfortunately, the poor conversion of list numbering and outline formatting between Writer and Word is a showstopper for me when working at home, as I found out last week. Since about 85% of what I write (outside of e-mails) needs outline formatting or some sort of numbering, and the office I work for is locked into MS junk, I need to log out of Fedora Core, and boot up Windows when I work at home or on the train writing specifications, etc. I have not found a similar problem with Calc, as I have found it easy enough to copy, paste (and sometimes tweak) the simpler macros between MS's VBA and OOo's Star BASIC. The more compliocated ones take a bit of re-writing, but I've managed to make compatible libraries for most of them.
