All Microsoft Office documents have the magic numbers / File Signatures as 
follows
   
1st byte - D0
2nd byte - CF
3rd byte - 11
4th byte - E0

In addition to this, Microsoft WORD documents have the additions magic numbers /
File signatures as follows

512th byte - EC(236 in decimal)
513th byte - A5(165 in decimal)

However the word documents creating using OO by saving as Microsoft word 95 or
Microsoft word 97/2000/xp has the magic numbers as follows


512th byte - ffff fffd (-3 in dec)
513th byte - ffff ffff (-1 in dec)

The magic numbers / file signatures are used to identify the type of the file.
Since OO is setting a different magic number, we are unable to identify it as
word document.Hence, the documents created using OO should also have the same
magic numbers/ file signatures as used by Microsoft Office.
