Here you go for a debian system: http://support.xandros.com/downloads/Openxml/ Does an excellent job on small simple files (see attached of Michael's docx converted to odt). However, when I used it to convert a detailed file, both OOo and Starwriter 8 crash: http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/test-docs/docx/optional/ESTAT_Report%20with%20Equations_EN.compat.docx I've not taken time to figure out the crash yet, or submit to OOo or SUN. Note: I can open the ESTAT report in Ubuntu (U)OOo 2.3, but it uses the Novell conversion so it doesn't convert figures, tables, bullits etc.
