than that. Apple's Pages does a better job. But again, I'm not quite
that generous.

Then again, I only tried it a few times. Maybe the fact that it sucked
every time was just coincidence.

Use Libre Office, not Open Office. OO doesn't fix their bugs.
Libre Office just went through a huge rewrite of their M$
importer and it is pretty nice now.
