I'm talking about how to keep whats-her-name quiet, the one who said
she'd raise hell if they took her MS Office away.  See below.

ROFL!  That would be me.  I didn't quite mean I would raise hell if MS Office was taken away, I said I would raise hell if my workflow changed in a way that made my work more inconvenient.  This was re: ODF vs. DOC formats and having to use a separate workstation to convert something before e-mailing it to someone else.   (You did mention this later in the e-mail, and _that_ was my point.) 

But yes, if my salary were increased (not just a token 1000-yen what-have-you but some real increase), I would put up with it.  ^_^  If I'm being paid for the inconvenience, who am I to say no?
