Yes, but it's only partially true. Like Abiword it reads the text, but does not preserve the format and imports none of the graphics. So not worth much for an illustrated book.
Interesting! I didn't know that!
My idea of "reading" a particular format - in this case .wpd - should be to preserve everything; text, formats, graphics, etc. Only understandable exception would be proprietary stuff, like WordArt in M$ Word, that can't be duplicated.
Your advice is the first serious misrepresentation I have come across in Open Office. At least with Impress Open Office.org pointed out that support was limited to versions up to and including Powerpoint 97!
