We are a small consulting firm.

We exchange a lot of documents with our clients and other people.

As I assume that most people use MS-Office, I follow the (ridiculous)
procedure:

- I created a document with OO.

- I save it in MS-Office format in order to send it to somebody else

- The he works on the document, returns it to me in the same
MS-Office format, and I open it again with OO

The other day I commented the issue with a
client and he said: -But we also use OO !

Thus, the procedure was even more ridiculous: both the client and me
were using OO, but we interchanged documents in MS-Office format !

THE PROBLEM:

I do not know who is using OO, and other people do not know that I am
using OO.

THE SOLUTION:

I coud add a small footnote to all my documents saying something like:

"This document was created with OpenOffice - www.openoffice.org "

If all (most ?) OO users do the same, we will easily recognize other OO
users and this will avoid the ridiculous going and coming from
MS-Office format.

We will be free of the MS-Office format !

Besides, the non-OO users will know that there exist people using this
rare software (some of them don't even know that OO exists, as I didn't
till some months ago). I could also add the suggested phrase to our
website.

MY QUESTION

Is there an already made standard phrase for this purpose ?
