(The other reason being that I'd really like to get 3.2 on here within the next hour or two, since the 3.0.1 portable version I'm using keeps screwing up my drawings.) It would be nice if I could always get the latest version and unpack it without requiring admin rights, which is one reason I was asking if it's possible. So I can use the portable version, but in general they tend to lag behind the latest release by quite a bit. The doc I'm working on right now is for work, so I have no need or desire to take it home, and even if I did I would take it as an ODT file (I have 3.2 on my home desktop, and you won't find any MSOffice stuff on there). But thanks to OOo, I can generally avoid that POS and with file format support improving in OOo it gets better as time goes on. I don't use MSWord unless I really, really have to - it gets clunkier and harder to use with every version that comes out, but it's the 'official' in-house WP so we're kinda stuck with it.
If I need to hand off a doc to someone else I save as MSWord format and send that, or alternatively export as a PDF. I write docs at work with OOWriter (the portable version, of course), and I always keep them as.
