Your statement about OO is rubbish. If u are talking about cross compatability never mind OO to MSoffice, MSoffice itself has problems loading it's own spread sheets, pics and tables into a doc.
Carry out a simple exercise. Create a simple table of 5 rows and 4 columns in OO Spreadsheet in ODS format. Add random data to the cells. Colour one cell with some colour. sort the table such that the cell data moves to a new location. Check if the colour of the cell moves too. It does in M$ Office.
