One thing you will need to do with open office, though, is if you want it to save into doc format, rather than its own thingy:
Tools > Options > Load/Save > General
In the 'Document type' header down the bottom, change the 'Always save as' to Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP.
Then, in the other flick down box, select 'Spreadsheet' and change the 'always save as' to Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP. Then, select 'Presentation' and change the 'always save as' to Microsoft Power Point 97/2000/XP.
