Our office recently migrated from Office 2003 to Office
2010, and that's exactly the sort of problem we're seeing.

Word & Excel will helpfully tell us that a file is "corrupt"
just because it was created in the old version. (although
they might be on to something, there!)

Even worse is the reaction when I open LibreOffice files - I
get all sorts of alerts & warnings telling me that not only
is the document corrupt, but it exhibits signs of being
malignant, and I should really, really not open it.

Meanwhile, Office2010 has trouble sometimes reading files
created in Office2010, which LibreOffice opens without
hesitation (although some of the formatting is a bit off,
which I take as a further sign that MS aren't even following
their own OOXML specification).
