The new release 2007/2008 has a lot of improvements in that area, when you add a table and/or paste a table from Excel, you can update them easily (while you keep both documents open) and the graphic charts are a lot better and easy to work with.

Remember that now Word documents will be
.docx actually all the formats will have a
x at the end, like
.xlsx,
.pptx for the
xml format.
You can also make a test if you find any document from the new release, open the file with any
ZIP software and you will find all the
xml format on it.
I was an
OpenOffice fan but now I like better
iWork and
Office
New documents are smaller (most of the time even smaller than
PDF, but I still prefer
PDF, you create something that you would like to share, and nobody will modify it if you don't want to. (Do not think about cracking the password to edit the documents)
Seems like finally Microsoft is working to do things more ... "Multi-Platform" (at least for Office).
