Dear group members,

Many of you are sending me OpenOffice,LibreOffice,etc. documents. I am fine if you use it (I have it too, and used to use it a lot) but I want you to export to Word or Powerpoint and test in Word that the formatting is good before sending me anything ! I have had much trouble especially with the presentation files. The OpenOffice writer documents look uglier than the Word ones (which are still usually ugly) and do not interact well with any collaborators. So let's settle on that as a standard when we don't use LaTeX. This is especially important for grants, grant reports, and the like.

Best,

Alan
