The big problem in reading MS office products in Symphony (or Open Office) is the font replacement. This is especially true when an unusual font was used in the original MS document. Reading MS Office documents is a fact of life; so this is crucial. Example; i opened up an Excel spreadsheet written on a Korean version of MS Office. It was in English, but when opened in Symphony the font was some strange gothic font. It opened fine in English MS Office Excel, even though it was written on a Korean machine. When an unknown font is encountered, there should be an option to map.
I have had this on all types: doc, xls and ppt. The Korean example is extreme; it often happens with vanilla English MS Office stuff.
