+/- how much though?  If a MS Doc file won't load or print properly, or 
you always have to worry if it will mangle things, that's no good!

Here are a couple converter projects for the new `portable' formats:  
ODF and OOXML.

This ODF import/export module adds a menu item in MS 2007 for loading 
and saving ODF, e.g. you have to be saved first.   A fancy XSLT program, 
sounds like.

This module below requires SuSE, and their Open Office variant or OO on 
Windows.   I can't find source for the OO plugin.  Haven't tested this, 
as I'm mostly a Fedora user.
