Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66423
Add support for Microsoft Office 2007 file format
Last modified: 2006-12-06 17:59:35 UTC
Right now, I am doing Beta test for Microsoft Office 2007. I find no version Open Office can read MS Office 2007. I hope Open Office Team can add this function as soon as possible. openoffice can read most MS office files except MS office 2007 beta 1 and 2. But unfortunately, if you use MS office to open openoffice file, that have always has problems, as document is nearly frozen. The file is corrupt. MS office 2007 cannot read openoffice files.
Reassigned to requirements.

I close this issue as "invalid" because we don't use it though the requested enhancement will be implemented anyway. Expect import filters to be ready somewhere in summer/autumn 2007. We are working on import filters for this format already, but we will have separate issues for every application. It doesn't make sense to keep this "super" issue for this. Kami, thanks for the hint to the converter. In our opinion an XSLT based filter is the wrong approach, it will never reach a sufficient quality.
closing.
