John is right. MS has not published the file structure or an API for
Works so making an import filter would take many manhours and no one has
taken on the task of reverse engineering.

However, one of our volunteers has contributed a way to get around works
importing. Please see Chapter 14 of 
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf
for this method.
