Embedding Fonts: Does OpenType work too?

The embed font option (in Word 2003) specifies TrueType fonts. Since newer
versions of Windows and Office ship with OpenType fonts, may I assume that
it actually mean TrueType and OpenType fonts? Or, does it only embed the
TrueType part of an OpenType font (I think OpenType is a combination of the
data for TrueType and Type1), or will it fail altogether?

I need to know because I'm buying a font and would prefer to buy the
OpenType version, but not if it will fail to embed in Word (and PowerPoint).

Thanks for any information,
Colin
