Does not support writing Office 2007 OOXML format on OOo 3.0 here. Only old Office 97-2003 (binary .doc) format. I think Go-OO has an odf-converter program that can convert OOo documents to OOXML but I don't think there is a gentoo package and last time I read about it, it was very raw (you'll lose data/formatting when converting).
