If you are very concerned about interoperability, you should be contacting m$ and ask them why they cannot open odf documents created using LO.

If LO opens the odt document correctly, m$ should also.

If LO, or any other odf-compliant software disappears, you can find another. That is why you should be testing "interoperability" with odf and not m$ formats. > Then, the data in the .doc files would be lost if no other office suite was > able to open them, I am afraid. > I hope that happens (but a small possibility). > Not many people like converting .doc files into .odt files, I am afraid. > That is their choice.
