We're considering a number of migration options for OpenOffice at the moment.
Can anyone confirm if OpenOffice is capable of opening and converting all of the following Office file formats?

1Formats are more or less supported, however you will probably have some problems with elements within a file, for example equations in word documents usually don't map good when opened in OO. – enedene Aug 12 '11 at 00:06

Yes. OpenOffice.org can read and write all those file formats.
Once in a while I do encounter a document that doesn't convert very well, but these are usually documents that are very complex and so other programs (e.g., WordPerfect Office) also have a little trouble with them.
Interoperability is generally quite good, but from any product to any other product there can be challenges with file format conversions (in any direction), so I recommend that you install OpenOffice.org on one of your computers and try loading a variety of your documents, spreadsheets, and presentations to see if there are any major issues right-off-the-bat.
