RE: Word to OpenOffice - what to do with styles?

No and yes.

Others have already responded, no doubt, but the short answer 
is that OpenOffice.org is cross-platform.

One of the reasons that I like it is that, at the office, I 
can use the same program to work on a document whether I'm 
booted into Windows or Linux (without the bother of Wine 
or the expense of X-over Office).

Another reason is that, at home, I run Linux exclusively.

But no, I don't have an environment where I'm actually 
encouraged/expected to work in Linux -- I just do, sometimes 
when I happen to be documenting for the use of our products 
on Linux... or at least I'm beginning to.  At home, I do 
have a toy Mac iBook (from early this century), and I might 
install OOo there, too, just for fun... and to get the dust 
off the iBook.   :-)

Next frontier, Solaris.     

Cheers,

Kevin
