I routinely use OOo in an organization that has "standardized" on MS products. I frequently move text files in both directions with little difficulty, but they are generally fairly simple memo-style documents. I tend to export more compicated documents in PDF form.
Yesterday, I used Calc to format data bound for Excel from a database. Because I was dealing with a novice user with an *old* platform (Win95), I exported to every supported Excel format... I probably won't know this story ends for a while - it took about 1 1/2 months before I heard she couldn't import what I gave her last time...
The information here will help with slightly more complicated documents.
