While not exactly Open Docs, you can use OfficeDoc (available on the File Exchange) to read, write & format other types of Microsoft Office documents: Word (DOC) and PowerPoint (PPT), in addition to Excel (XLS). It requires ActiveX, though.

If there's enough public demand I guess I could expand it to Open Office.
