While I was on
http://www.fileinfo.com/ last night, I searched "ODF" out of curiosity, and it gave me a list of programs that can create/edit them.

Try it out yourself, and tell me if my discovey was good or lame, please.

But you may run into the same problems that you would by using Microsoft Word. I believe it is something with the quotation marks, though I may be wrong.

Notepad is, IMO the best program for editing ODFs, I can't see myself using anything different
