I had the same problem with MS Word once, it was updating a Field every time I opened the document and then prompted me to Save or Discard when I closed it. > This episode indicates to me that Open Office Writer is altogether > unacceptable as an alternative to Word. No word processor is ever going to be able to convert a Word document perfectly, Microsoft seem to have deliberately made this as hard as possible. If 100% compatibility with Word is your overriding priority, then you are locked in to your vendor. You might be able to wean yourself off Microsoft if you use an open replacement for new document creation and keep MS Office around for compatibility with legacy documents. I agree, however, that the installer isn't that great, that tick list of disk drives always confuses me.
