My Wife has taken many courses with the OU over the past few years.
Everything she's submitted electronically has been in .SXW format done
in OpenOffice and she's had no issues.

I think in the student guides they give you, there is a section on how
to get hold of OpenOffice and how to save in the correct format for
sending to them. I think for some of her earlier courses it may have
been referring to staroffice instead and they may have updated to accept
ODF documents recently. I was only reading it idly since it wasn't my
course so I wasn't exactly paying it 100% attention.
