That reminds me... MS Office Professional 2007 introduces new file
formats not in use before. How or when OOo handle them?
OOo developers refer to MSO 2007 by its old name of Office 12, so a bit of
detective work found this wiki page, which says that the "Office 12 Import
Filter" (which I assume is for the DOCX format) is scheduled for OOo 3.0:

I also found it on the page with the Roadmap (timeline) for releases, which
shows OOo3.0 scheduled for release in September 2008:

I don't read the Sun OOo blog (GullFOSS) regularly, but it's a good source
of info about what's going on in OOo development and includes a weekly
summary of what's being planned or worked on and what's been completed.
