It is, as far as possible. However, Microsoft Office is NOT compatible with the ISO/IEC 26300 file format, a.k.a. ODF (which is international standard and currently used by OpenOffice and at least 50 other applications). So your question should (probably) be sent to Microsoft rather than elsewhere. However, there are some people in the world who also are subscribed to this list AND who know a bit about Microsoft Office as well. I guess I'm one of them in some way. They could inform you about that, you could search (with Google or similar) for an ODF plugin for Microsoft Office. Installing that plugin will make Microsoft Office more compatible with ODF. As far as I know there are ODF plugins for Word and Excel, but there are plans for more.
