Open Document format (OpenOffice.org) report generation

Please implement a way to generate reports in ODF (native format of OpenOffice) as it is a file format everybody can read (.doc is not because you must buy Microsoft software).

 

 

If you do that, programmers will automatically be able to generate PDF because OpenOffice has a dos command to convert any ODF document to PDF.

I thought Open Office can open Word .doc files.

Also, MSOffice 2007 has native capability to export to PDF. And, this is a duplicate of Shane's Report generation toolkit for OpenOffice.

Yes, open office and pdf creation would be usefull to me and many other test equipment builders where getting a copy of office for each test station would not be possible (company policy). I need to produce printed test reports and save them in an easily read fromat.
