From another member of this mailing list:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are working for a large bank, then you can make a collection of
typical M$-Office documents used in your bank and test them with
OpenOffice.org. If you find a problems, file an issue on Issuezilla
<http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/project_issues.html> -- errors in
compatibility with Microsoft Office are usually treated with the highest
level of emergency.

However, experience of many users is that (aside from macros) OOo is highly
compatible with MS Office and problems are rather rare and not quite
serious.
