You can save your docs in MSOffice format if you like, though the OpenDocument Format (ODF), is an ISO/IEC standard that is overtaking the MSOffice formats worldwide.
Use it and love it.

Yes, thanks, Mac. That was what I was enquiring; wondered if there were other 'flavours' of OO, as with Linux, where I'm using Mint... advised by some, despised by others!
Thanks all; gave me what I wanted.
