My Wife took a short Open University course recently and they now bundle
the Windows version of OpenOffice on a CD and accept submissions in
'StarOffice' format, by which, IIRC they mean .sxw files.

I thought this was rather a good sign of the changing times. I would
hope that others, like exam boards, will go the same way and support
open formats.

Ps. Hi, I'm new. I intended to mostly lurk but I couldn't resist
commenting, I just hope noone else said exactly the same thing just last
week ;-)
