Word docs probably aren't as good an issue as Excel spreadsheets.  I
know my company emails them left and right like bandwidth was free. :)

Cross compatibility is key to getting organizations to move to OO/SO. 
HOWEVER, the first "gaim/AIM/jabber/Y!" style war and those companies
will move right back to MS.
