I need to work with odt files but i'm too used to MS-Office to change... Is
there any way of using this filetype in MS-Office?
 
When I send someone an OpenOffice document as an attachment, they cannot open
it. Why not?
This may be because you sent them a file in the OpenOffice file format and
Microsoft Office does not (yet) support this format. Unfortunately most
people only recognize MSOffice files as the only way to exchange files. To
save your document as MSOffice files use the OpenOffice menu "File" => "Save
As..." and, from the lower drop-down box select the version of Word or Excel
you want to save it in. Be aware that older versions of Word does not always
read newer Word documents, but in general the best format to pick is
Word97/2000/XP.

However, I would try, and then try even harder to not use anything that is
not standard business apps.
