The Novell OpenXML converter only distributes as an RPM and claims to only support SuSE. Will it work on other distros?
As more companies "upgrade" to backwards-incompatible MS Office 07, OOo will become less usable until OpenXML support is rolled in. |

Read the instructions, and assume the instructions are correct.

Yeah, so Novell and Sun are working together to get OpenXML working. I know Novell has hired new staff to accelerate the project. Also, remember that Microsoft Office 2003 (and previous) users will have the same problem.
If you want to read more about it, there are sometimes posts from Sun and Novell about OpenXML here:
