Now now now. Do you even know the openoffice file format? It is a compressed xml file. Meaining you uncompress it with standard compression tools followed by interpret the plane text that is encased. ie unlike you state, it will not become obsolete, any more than html can. It is plain text with tags sorrounding it. At the very least you could always fire up notepad and get the important info out.
