Another alternative (Score:1)

That was exactly the kind of expensive rigamarole that finally drove me to Open Office [openoffice.org]. So far I'm pretty happy with it. Give it a whirl.

  I'd love to use OO or AbiWord or a non-MS alternative but:
  
  I need Access
  
  I need to guarantee 100% compatibility with clients sending Office files
  
  I need some of the Word features like revisions and track changes to work
  
  Until OO can manage this, I'm stuck with MS Office :(

    Does using MS Office guarantee 100% compatibility with clients sending Office files, if they're not using the same version and platform?
