Even a conversion to flat-text would be nice.
Ah, I see OpenOffice.org 3 is out officially now. But there is no
support for it in Lenny and I would like a supported product.
I am a sysadmin for some offices who are running Debian on the desktop,
and I am working on Lenny. I am wondering there is nothing in Debian for
docx.

I can do that for my private stuff. But for e.g. a notary office this is
not usuable.

Only if they don't install a plugin. And maybe this plugin is, or will
be, automatically installed by MS online update.
