Your Word docs have not been changed, only the association of the doc file extension. When you installed OpenOffice, there was a dialogue asking if you wanted to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint files with OpenOffice. You must have checked all the boxes. This changed the relationship of the doc extension from Word to OOo. To change it back, shift-right click a doc file and select 'Open With'. Choose Microsoft Word from the list you'll be presented with. You will still be able to open the doc files using OOo's 'file / open' dialogue. Your files will remain in Word format as long as you don't save them in openoffice format.

When I loaded openoffice I didn't realize it would convert all my documents to open office. I want to leave all my existing documents in .doc format. How do I convert them back.
