The new OOXML works only with MSO 2013.  So this is another time they 
make their new version's OOXML not compatible with their previous 
versions of MSO.  2010 cannot read the new 2013 version, 2007 cannot 
read the one that came out with 2010.  That is why I stick with .doc for 
Word 97/2000/XP/2003.  Then everyone I know that uses Word will be able 
to use my files.

SO, it only makes sense that it will be a bit till LO gets the needed 
import/export filters to work with this newest version of MSO.  I wonder 
if the format is actually finalized yet.  Last I heard it was not, as 
well as MSO 2013 was in beta testing.
