Hi :) It might be worth putting forwards as a major project for next year's "Google Summer of Code". The topics for this year have been selected already. Last year someone wrote filters to import Visio formats and was keen to extend the filters to cope with other versions of MS Office.
A work-around might be to run LibreOffice alongside those other Office Suites and copy&paste letters/documents/books as and when but only as and when needed. Large scale migrations might be worth leaving until a proper filter is written. Normally people just post such things as a bug-report but use the drop-downs to make it a "feature request" or "Enhancement request". Some other projects use the term "Wish-list item". THat's really the best 1st step. Maybe look into GSoC some other time. There is also some excellent thing for people or organisations to promise to pay a certain amount if their favourite bit of coding gets done. If enough people have gone for the same thing it can increase the chances of a dev getting interested and completing the work.
