Much better than my very limited Spanish ;). Currently files saved in ooxml format (the default save format used by MS Office 2007) can only be opened and saved accurately by some MS software. Some earlier versions of MS Office can work with this file format, by installing additional extensions or plug-ins. You do not say why you need to open ooxml files (eg. docx). If these are files being sent to you by other people, you should ask those people to save and send them in the previous .doc format used by previous versions of MS Office. There are developers working on an extension which will allow OOo (OpenOffice.org) to handle ooxml files. However, due to the complexity of Microsoft's (not fully published) specification and their non-standard xml implementation, this is going to be a difficult process, which will probably take a long time to complete. One such extension already exists and can be found here: http://download.novell.com/SummaryFree.jsp?buildid=ESrjfdE4U58~ Personally, I would describe this extension as a prototype, because it does not yet provide 100% compatibility and there are reports that it fails to install/work with all OOo variants. At the moment your best option is to ask whoever is sending you documents created/edited in MS Office 2007, to use the "Save As..." option and choose the previous format (eg. doc). Another option is to request the people sending you documents to install OOo, or the Sun ODF Plug-in 1.0 for Microsoft Office http://tinyurl.com/3bn3ak and send you documents in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 OpenDocument format.
