I was sent a microsoft projects plan for a project I am working on. I opened it in omniplan and it came over OK (resources and dates) BUT: There are no descriptions for the tasks, only "Task 1" Task 2" etc. Before I go hassle the project leader, is there something on my end I should do / could do?

If you can ask the project leader (or someone else with Project 2007) to save/export the file to the 2003 format, then OmniPlan should be able to open it properly.
