No. OOo does not save as .docx & we're way off topic here. My point was
that someone using MS Word 2007 (don't know as I don't have it) could
probably not tell the difference if you sent them a standard MS Word
(saved via OOo or an older verion of MS Word) with a modified file name
of xyz.docx vs the original xyz.doc. Either way, a college that
*requires* their staff and students to use MS Office w/.docx is
justification (IMO) to look elsewhere.
http://support.openoffice.org/index.html is that-a-way==> :-)
