Use OpenDocument instead of Word format für Modelica 3.1 specification

[otter]

Email discussion reveals that people would like to change from Word to OpenDocument format for the Modelica 3.1 specification. Reasons:

• Word is not reliable for multiple authors using country specific Word versions
  
• OpenOffice seems to be much more reliable (experience from Francesco and Martin)
  
• Plug-ins/programs in both directions are available Word <> OpenDocument (for reading, not suitable for editing and exchanging).
  
• An organization developing free documents and free libraries should use an open/free format for their documents

This was missed at the 57th Design Meeting and should definitely decided on at the next meeting.
