It's absurd, the price MS sets for that suite. So, I use OOo because it is free and because it meets my needs. What I do not have a lot of experience with is how it interacts with MS Office documents. Importing and exporting Word docs or Excel files just isn't something I do a lot of with OOo. So I can't speak all that well about how it does (or does not) work. From what I have done, the formatting has been fine.

I assume you recommend it, but would like to know why (other than the setting us free from our Microsoft overlords).
