Just to add one more to this... I was sent my first .docx file today
and I double-clicked it expecting NeoOffice to open, but Pages opened
the file and rendered it perfectly instead. I wasn't aware but
apparently iWork opens MS Office 2007 files too (probably just docx,
mind)...

There are some add-ins and converters that can work with docx but
with less fidelity than OpenOffice currently deals with .doc;
however the Sun plugin for MS Office does a better job of saving
and opening ISO26300 word processor (.odt) files. If you are in a
position to do so, it makes more sense to request the MS Office
user to install the plugin so they can exchange ISO 26300 files.

No, there is currently nothing, outside of MS Office on Windows,
that
can open those files.
James that is not entirely true. There is a converter from
MS .docx to
Openoffice .odt and back for the OpenSUSE Linux version of
OpenOffice. It
works fine and I've used it regularly. There is also a version for
Excel in
the future.
Which version of OO do you have? I have Novell build 2.2.0.1 and it
goes as far as Word XML 2003, which (IIRC) is not the same as
OOXML. Is
it a separate package?
