As far as I know WP support is fully integrated into OpenOffice 2.0. We have been running that release in beta form for a while now and WP files are coming in perfectly. They actually list it as a 'feature' on their web site:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/2.0/index.html
We converted all of our internal documents from WP-->Openoffice in 2003, but still get them in email from other organizations and they open perfectly in 2.0.
