Only MS Office will be affected by an upgrade to a later version of MS Office. If that did not answer your question, please let me know.
As with any other application uninstallation, the only effect on "common" files would be the inability to open any files created with OOo and saved in its format. However OOo can save in Microsoft's file format.
For reference, the current stable version of OOo is 1.1.4 and the latest MS Office version is 2003.

Hi, I've only recently heard of your OpenOffice suite - received on a sample CD from a series about 'Your PC at Home' (UK) and I was interested to view and evaluate it to compare with the currently installed MS Office suite (which if I recall correctly is a 1997 version).
Before installing however, I would like clarification about any possible issues that may arise from installing your 'OpenOffice 1.1' on the same pc, and if both OpenOffice & MS Office (Word & Excel etc) can be used side-by-side without any problems.
Would either of the programs be 'affected' in any way if I upgrade MS office to a later version?
Also, if I later decided to remove OpenOffice whether any 'common files' would be affected.
I hope you can understand my concerns and explain any issues in not-too-technical terms (I am quite happy working with pc's and probably understand more about them than I realise but lack confidence at times when reading technical stuff!).
Many thanks in anticipation of a helpful reply.
