Recent (and updated) versions of Word 2007 will open ODT format documents.
You can then use a simple batch process to convert the documents to DOC or
DOCX format, or convert them on an ad hoc basis as you require them. The
add-in at http://www.gmayor.com/Works_Batch_Converter.htm could easily be
modified to achieve this.
In the module - ProcessSubFolders
Change the line
Const FileType = "*.wps"
to
Const FileType = "*.odt"
and change the lines
strDocName = strDocName & ".docx"
oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocumentDefault
to
strDocName = strDocName & ".docx"
oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument97
to save as DOC rather than DOCX
