many of us use ubuntu and face problem using open office. this is because the fonts of ms office and open office do not match. well, this problem can be solved very easily. just follow the steps below-
open terminal and run this command-
sudo apt-get install cabextract
now, go to this link and click download.
open terminal and go to the location where the file is saved.
now run these commands in terminal-
cabextract -F ppviewer.cab PowerPointViewer.exe
sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/vista
sudo cabextract -F '*.TT?' -d /usr/share/fonts/vista ppviewer.cab
fc-cache -fv
now it is time to write some document in open office(.doc format) and find out if it works on ms office or not. remember to change the font to any of the windows fonts like- cambria, calibri etc.

you may think that, all this is not necessary. you can copy-paste the fonts from windows to ubuntu. of course you can. but this causes too many problems. you can try to see if it is true or not.
