[BNM] .odt documents

> Can word open .odt documents saved with openoffice.org?

Word will never open .odt documents unless they are forced by the law,
or feel less threatened by the competition as a result of doing it.

At work, I have an option in my file menu called 'Import OpenOffice
document' which opens them. I don't know how it got there, and I never
use it because I use OpenOffice exclusively, but it's there.
