At the moment, go "Legacy" format, i.e. Word/Excel/Powerpoint 97. The
OOXML filters really don't cut it just yet in lots of situations,
especially with roundtrip conversions of tables, image placements, and
headers, big documents, etc, just as a few examples off the top of my
head from the bug reports. Work is being done to improve the OOXML
filters though, and performance when importing / exporting, by moving
the filters to C++ rather than having to depend on Java and XSLT processing.
