This is again the widespread FUD that there are no compatibility problems between different word versions, but only between word and OOo. That is not true, you can get these compatibility problems as easily with different versions of word. Depending on the document contents OOo might be perfect for creation of .doc files or might have severe problems, but the situation is the same if you use word, but a different version of word than your publisher.
