Not really. There was never 100% fidelity between MS Office versions nor even between the same version on different machines.
Anyway, the world has moved on from closed, proprietary office formats. The old documents will go away through attrition, but the sooner people stop making them, the sooner the overall problem goes away. Nothing should be done that should even appear to encourage further use of legacy formats -- if the goal is to further market share OpenOffice.org and other ODF-based suites.
OpenOffice.org can be installed parallel to any pre-existing legacy applications as the old apps and old documents are phased out. Perhaps that fact ought to be made more widely known. \
