I used to be unable to read Office 2000 and later files with a certain 
non-Microsoft Windows word processor and with StarOffice,  but for as 
long as I've been using it regularly,  OpenOffice has never had a 
problem with any Word document I've been exposed to (and a lot of 
professors at my school use Word sometimes).  Perhaps that barrier is 
pretty flimsy too?
