Do OpenOffice Users Save In Microsoft Format?

superglaze writes "Looking through an article on the smartphone office suite Quickoffice, I noted a claim by a company executive that OpenOffice users usually save their documents in a Microsoft format, e.g. .doc. Hence the company has no plans to support .odf. I guess I can see the rationale for this — it helps if you're sending a document to an MS-using company — but what's this community's general experience of saving in .odf vs. .doc format?"

    I use .doc (MS) and .rtf (if you need to ask...) for all of my stuff, as those are the most widly supported.

    So far, OO only seems to have problem with font size of superscripted items, and page margin sizes.
