OpenOffice.org can save files in MS Office format. You can even set (in the Options) it to do this by default so that you do not have to remember to save the documents in MS Office formats. When you install OpenOffice.org, you have a choice to allow OpenOffice.org to be the default for your documents. Leave those checkboxes unchecked if you want your documents to remain associated with MS Office. The file association is only a convenience thing anyway, and regardless of what the file association is, you can always open any document with either office suite. OpenOffice.org does not override word documents unless you tell it to. If you open a MS Word formatted document, you can work on it and save it as MS Word format without needing to do anything special. It will only convert to ODT if you tell it to.
