Yep, as well as .xlsx

But, I mean, you know all the *pressing* and Important reasons that M$ had
to change the file format....

      mark "sell more copies of the new version? Nahhhh...."

A .docx is a ZIP file with some XML files in the archive.  One of those
XML files contains the *text* of the document.  One can use an XML
processing program to strip off the XML, leaving the bare textual
content.  It will be unformatted, though.

Not really - OO 3.1 for Linux and (gag) Windows reads them just fine.

Hi

I don't install the CentOS Openoffice, instead install 3.1 from 
Openoffice web site. Seems to work fine with MS documents.

Open in google docs and let them do the conversion work. Then download
as what file format you want. Seems to work for my use cases.
