Open Office just keeps getting better. I don't have Microsoft Office on my machine, because I just don't need it. Recently, I received a paper back from my professor by e-mail with changes entered inline and marked as such. Possibly even worse was that the document was from a Macintosh. Open Office read it with no problem, and even had at least one neat feature I noticed that Word didn't have. The only difference was that Word highlighted the changes in red, while Open Office did them in blue. It may be configurable, but who knows.
Anyway, I just read on Simon's weblog that you can script Open Office with Python! That rules. It's only available with Open Office 1.1, which happens to be in release candidate status (new features).
