I downloaded LO and found that
1: LO found the OO templates and incorporated 
them automatically, which was nice.
2: I can save documents with LO in .docx as well 
as other common formats, including ODT. .docx is 
not available in OO version that I have
3: when PDF exporting with OO and LO using the 
same template, the results are slightly 
different. I see that LO and OO don't have some 
of the same fonts as the original document spec 
which was in Office 2010(?), and may be 
substituting something different from OO.

My next activity is to test the .doc and .docx 
versions with someone who has MS Office to see if 
the files are still corrupted starting with the original template.

thanks for the help, guys
