Make OpenOffice save in Microsoft Office Compatable Formats by default.  
Written by chmoder the 14 May 08 at 05:59. Global category: Office. New
My girlfriend had a really hard time giving her presentation to her class mates in college and if M$ save formats were default that would not have happened.

I am sure this is not the only case of this and it would be a real convenience for compatibilities sake if we simply changed the default install to office formats.

Maybe the educators should become more educated about open standards and the meaning of ISO/IEC 26300.
