Andrew I may be wrong, but I believe MSO 2010 and 2007? are able to open ODF files except for possibly Base
I had heard (meaning way back when ever) that MS would support ODF before they supported their own proposed standard. I was reading ODF files in MSO even before that using the plug-in created by Sun (and then pulled by Oracle to become a for-pay product).
I only move simple ODF documents to Word because of issues with respect to things such as: Frames, Links, and Styles. For the most part, complex documents read into MSO is a one way trip. MSO and OOo do not have good compatibility for complex things. The simplest of examples is that OOo and LO rely on styles in a serious way. MSO has improved style support, but can't even begin to come close to the support provided by OOo.
So, when I create a complex document, if the deliverable is a PDF, I am likely to use OOo (historically, it has had much better PDF export capabilities). If the deliverable is a Word document, then I start with Word and stay in Word. I have worked for only one client that would accept an ODF document as a deliverable. Ironically, it was a requirement.
