Hi :) MS Office 2007 & 2010 claims to be able to use OpenDocument Formats such as Odt and Ods but it only handles the ancient 1.1 version, not the 1.2 taht most other programs have been using for years (although it was only formally released in about last Aug or something).
Similarly LO supports doc and xls which are standard formats handled by all versions of MS Office. For the most part it also handles docX and xlsX and so on except for occasional problems when MS Office doesn't implement it's own specification for those formats.

You can easily import files from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and many other formats, and can easily save to Microsoft Office and other formats when needed." This person is only asking to do what the website says it can. Either it can or it can't.
