Well, those are probably great tools but they are not available at this time.

I ran a few tests with OO 3.0 and encountered problems when opening Microsoft XML files (docx and pptx). I don't see that OO 3.0 is compatible to MS Office 2007. Especially poor results were found for powerpoint/impress.

I would love to give the OO add-ons a test run but the extensions-services server seems out of order. Is anyone having more luck?

@Pieterjan, I have downloaded those yesterday (Template packs also in English and German).

But I had to retry a couple of times. Seems the server is a bit hosed, maybe due to a lot of people going for Oo3 and Extensions.

Have installed them now and will give them a try.
