File exchange in a diverse digital environment

- I have created a text document or a presentation with Open Office, and I need to work on it with Microsoft Office. OMG!How do I do that????

- I have this cool Powerpoint created with the latest version of Microsoft Office, can I open it with Open Office without corrupting it beyond recognition?????

- I Just opened my file created at home with a school computer, and there are all these funky signs which are not supposed to be there? What can I do about it?

See this file exchange chart. Download the whole presentation here.
