What file formats does OpenOffice.org Writer support?
Many different types. The easiest way to see is to use the file dialog (File -> Open) and look at the file types listed there.
Chapter 3, "File Management in OpenOffice.org" in the Getting Started book, includes a list of supported file types. This chapter is available in free PDF from the Documentation Project.
