[DEMUG] Office-type software?

[Roy Atkinson]

Be aware that the file formats for Office 2008 are significantly  
different, and you'll need to "save as" Office 2004 for anyone not  
running 2008 on Mac or 2007 on PC. (Word uses .docx  as its extension  
for example, and earlier versions don't know what to do.)

I use Open Office (openoffice.org) at home. It's free.
