I do not know if you consider this as an achievement, but Microsoft Word 2007 can open and read all odt files.
great achievement - please congratulate your friend
I was talking of it as an achievement for Open Office, not for my friend The fact that it has become common enough or large enough for Microsoft to provide a converter for its files.
Rony, this may be of interest to your clients who are using OO in part of the systems and only MSOffice in others
is it with or without any additional plugin?

There is a plugin called OdfAddInForOffice you have to install that and thereafter it works. I just spoke to my friend in bangalore again this afternoon and he was not able to tell me where he downloaded it from but he said it shows up on google :-) (note - he is a non-techie)
These are official plugins from M$. There is also a plugin for opening 2007 docs in 2003.
Anyway OpenOffice does not open .docx files too. In doze, the best FOSS option for all file formats is OxygenOffice. It is a modified enhancement of OO. It also has the option of saving files in 2007 .docx format. I am not supporting that format but just highlighting OxygenOffice's wide compatibility.
