OO will output to .doc, as far as I know.

Yup, just tested it.

I realize that, but there are conflicts between certain features. For instance, when I was checking the results of a .ppt conversion I found that several features were ignored. I had to go back and spend about ten to twenty minutes checking through everything. I assume excel would have similar issues. I can't imagine word having any such issues.

OK, I got everything except word to start up. However, I can't open files. I can make them, but I can't open them...

It's even lamer than OO, but Office 2007 will most likely work.

Sorry, but I have no idea why, my Outlook 2002 seems to work fine so far, for the rest I use Open Office.

I'd rather to keep my stuff without kill switches thank you.

I tried to set up outlook. Works almost perfectly. *knock on wood*

Strange. Very strange.
