Camaleón and others, please send to me (in private mail) MSO files
that do not display well in Open Office. I will file bugs on the
matter and get them fixed. We really need more real-world documents!
Please try to remove all sensitive information from the documents
because they will likely be uploaded to a public bugtracker. If that
is impossible, then make sure to make that clear in the email, so that
I won't upload them.
Thanks!

Must agree with Dotan.
OOo 3.2 was a big step forward to a really efficient MSOffice alternative and should really be used instead of older versions when possible.

OOo 3.0 was much better than 2.x for reading .docx files, and OOo 3.1
was even better. Google For OOo Ninja's articles on the matter.
By the way, although 3.2 did not add much for MSO interoperability, it
is _much_ faster than previous versions.

Thanks everyone for the responds.
OK, OOo is a no brainier. I meant, none of those smaller, command line
tools like wv, catdoc, xlhtml etc works any more, in regarding of Office
2007, right? Any command line, text tools that survives?
Thanks

Hi,
it not such a big problem which seems to be by the lot of answers.
You only have to install
odf-converter-integrator
from OpenOffice.org.
Have fun

Thanks, I found more info at;
http://katana.oooninja.com/w/odf-converter-integrator
What release of OO.org has what add-in, somewhat confusing ?
http://katana.oooninja.com/w/editions_of_openoffice.org
maybe the original code:
http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/
The converter can be run from the command line.

Peace,

Nice, but does it require X? I didn't see any info on that, and a
previous solution that I tried (I think it was from Dag) did in fact
require X.

When OOo and Iceweasel began to really show their age in Lenny, I
removed them and installed OOo and Firefox from the upstream, because
those really are the two applications that benefit most being up to
date.
I agree, OOo 3.x is doing very, very well indeed. May the Oracle be
kind in its stewardship....
