I was hoping it had filters for Word Pros predecessor, Ami Pro. It did not include Ami Pro filters but I can confirm it did include Word Pro filters.
I can also confirm that both Symphony and OpenOffice will read and write .odt files from the other product without complaint (as should be the case). Use Symphony to convert your Word Pro files to .odt files. Then you can use either Symphony or OpenOffice to continue maintaining the converted files in .odt format.
