I use LyX for the vast majority of documents I write, and use StarOffice (possibly KOffice in the future) to interchange documents with those who only use MS formats. Even then, I often produce the document in LyX and translate it to rtf, then take it into StarOffice to clean it up and send it in whatever format is requested. This has given me good results with things such as my resume, which everyone (almost) requests as .doc. I find StarOffice is more compatible with MS Office than anything, including MS Office.
