My university kindly accepted everything in both MS Office and OpenDocument formats. When I was chairman of the housing community board where we live I tried to convert our documentation and applications to LibreOffice as all the members different MS Office versions were incompatible with each other. I failed. I did however manage them to go ahead and collaborate through Google Docs. Since then my experience is that people are more inclined to accept Google Docs as a platform than to install LibreOffice even though the functionality in Google Docs are much more limited.

Nice story!

Out of curiosity, why do you use Microsoft Office through Wine? Is there a need to share or collaborate on the same documents or else some native document and presentation suite or application would work?
