When you installed OOo it asked if you wanted it to be the default program for Office files and you apparently replied yes. Only the association has been changed, not the format. To change it back: right click on the file and select "open with", select the correct program, check the box at the bottom to change all data of that type.

When using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel and saving my work, it automatically goes to Open Office format which I have not found to be useful. If you have the interest and the time, I can go into detail as to the problems I have had using Open Office. Can I remove Open Office without losing all my files which have migrated to this program? I'd appreciate any help you may be able to offer. Thank you.
