Description

Even though I personally don't recommend using this file format, simply because of its issues with compatibility, it's very usual to get files in this format, forwarded by others. Microsoft's business strategies aside, it would be good to be able to work with Office 2007 files in Ubuntu.

Also making sure that formatting and layout stays exactly the same as it was in Office 2007.

-1 redundant. You can try the beta of OpenOffice and check it out.
