However, no one (yet) has mentioned that OOo 2.0 has a switch in the 
Options to set the default file format to either 1.0 (sx?) or 2.0 (ox?) 
format.  Saving to the 1.0 format from 2.0 gives the familiar 
"formatting may be lost..." message, giving the option to save in the 
new format, like when saving to MS format from 1.x versions.
