There are still many people out there who use programs like Sun’s OpenOffice suite and are perfectly happy with it.  However, these same rebels often fail to realize that while they can open our .doc files with no problem, Word users cannot open their .odf files.  At least, not without a little help. Believe it or not, Sun does offer a plugin for opening .odf files with the Microsoft Office Suite.  The installation process is about as lengthy as possible for this simple plugin, but it is still much nicer to open .odf files in our familiar Word interface than to download and install OpenOffice just to open files from the occasional rogue user.  The installation is three parts: Part 1:  Register with Sun and download the Sun Downloader It seems redundant to download a downloader, but like their Microsoft rival, Sun requires you to do just this…but not before supplying them with your name and email address, which solidifies your new Sun account
