There is a Sun plugin for MS Office that allows Office programs to read OpenOffice files. Office 2007 requires SP1. Office 2003 should also work.

It doesn't look as if there is support for the Mac (Office 2004 or 2008).

Hi all,
I just heard news that shook my lack of faith in mankind. Does anybody know if it is true that Word reads Open Office files? I'm fully linux, and so don't have access to word anywhere. For years I've been dutifully converting my OO files to .doc format for exchange. But if you can open OO files in word natively, I'll start educating word users of this fact and send the native .odt format.
