The fact that MSO intentionally breaks ODF is very familiar to many,
perhaps everyone. That is not news.

You can fix it temporarily by using the ODF plugin.

In the long run, migration to a better application is necessary.
OpenOffice.org can be installed parallel to MSO during the transition
period.
About the formula question, OpenFormula, has already been addressed and
resolved in ODF 1.2:

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/About_OpenFormula
As a bit of trivia you may note that ODF is the first to have formula
standard.
What are your opinion for this interoperability problem?
You are dealing with a mismanagement problem if you have allowed MSO
2007 to get deployed.
Regina, try channeling resources into improving migration guides and
howtos, or increasing awareness about the ODF Plugin. Chasing an
undocumented, moving target like MSO incompatibility is a waste of time,
effort and resources. No one has benefited from that chase before.
