In addition to what Matt Anderson said, Org-mode does export to MSWord and LibreOffice. Here's a video I made demonstrating this: vimeo.com/31564708
I haven't done it, but I understand there is also an 'import' function that converts from MSWord/LibreOffice ODT to native Org-mode files. The little comment/annotation-blocks in right margin are also supported for export, and, I expect, import.

The video is actually of VimOrganizer, an Org-mode clone I'm writing for Vim. For export (and some other functions) it calls out to an Emacs server to perform the operation. VimOrganizer has gotten to the point that its an excellent solution for people who would like to use Org-mode but who -- for whatever reason -- have an aversion to Emacs. I don't like editing in Emacs myself, but Org-mode is a beautiful piece of work.
