   Yeah. That's all I've used the past dozen years.

   No one seems to notice what I wrote. When I need to collaborate on a
document, that is, write a draft and have others make comments on it I need
to use OO.o. If you look in the archives of this mail list you will see many
of my posts noting that almost all of my writing is with LaTeX/LyX. The
folks in the business world stick with Microsoft -- and all the default
settings on every application -- and have no interest in using anything
different.
