I think this should be viewed as a fairly high-priority fix (even moreso because it would be SO SIMPLE to solve). At the moment, a .docx file, when double-clicked in Gnome or opened in Firefox, will get opened by file-roller, and expose the internal structure. This would lead almost all non-computer-literate people to assume that Ubuntu cannot access these files (which is false, OO.org handles them just fine)

It would be a trivial fix to have these open in OO.o and the payoff would be immediate. Voted for inclusion in Hardy/Gutsy.
