Hi - Is it possible to open and save Word 2007 documents in
Openoffice.org?
I can't seem to find how to do it. [...]
You can open/save Word 2007 documents in OpenOffice.org 2.1 but you
must install a plug-in first.
You can download it here:
http://download.novell.com/SummaryFree.jsp?buildid=ESrjfdE4U58%7E
Download "odfconverter-1.0.0-2.oxt" if you're using Windows or
"odf-converter-1.0.0-5.i586.rpm" if you're using Linux.
You'll find installation instructions on this page:

[...]
You are sure? You have tried it out?
IMO it doesn't work in general - because it seems, you need the
_Novell_ edition of OOo; see system requirements:
The OpenOffice.org OpenXML Translator requires the following versions
of OpenOffice.org:
* OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 or later Novell edition for Windows [...]
As I remember, there's a similar notice in a readme file.

Hi Manfred,
I installed it on vanilla OpenOffice.org 2.1 and now have the
"*Microsoft Word 2007 Document (*.docx)*" option in both "open" and
"save as" dialogs in Writer.
I saved as a test document in this format and opened it afterward with
success. So *yes it works!!!* Unfortunately, I don't have files saved in
Word 2007 (I know nobody who has Office 2007) so I can't verify with a
native MS OpenXML document.
Whatever, don't be afraid to try it. It's not a heavy download and it
works for me on a standard OpenOffice.org 2.1 so why it wouldn't for you?
Regards,
Nomax.
