        I'm wondering how people think a Microsoft Office format is fine — MS Office is expensive; but a format for a free program is not acceptable.

          While not wishing to get into either a political or technical discussion about which file formats are "better", the simple fact is that more people have the capability to read the Microsoft formats (.doc, .xls, and .ppt) than the OpenOffice equivalents.
