Oo can't even save to an old Office 2000-compatible format or read them well. I also receive an important newsletter created by the author in Word 2002 every day and Oo almost makes it unreadable because of the way it doesn't handle boxed text, spacing (adds a lot) and mixed fonts in the same paragraph. Making the adjustments to make the daily document readable just sucks up too much time.
I went with Oo on my new box in lieu of handing MS yet more money but the reality is that we must deal with a world that demands we pretty seamlessly move between Oo and ALL versions of Word, like it or not. This two-way conversion should be a top priority for the Oo team, IMHO, because lacking it severely inhibits its adoption. FWIW.
