If you cut and paste a table, it will be a table, then you can cut and
paste the words inside.
But if you want templates as your old .doc, as easy to open it erase the
words you do not want in the template and save as template.
Put this templates in your desktop or at any directory, and then you
will have the same template you used with MS word.
As wel, OO has a template directory where you can add this new templates
for accesing them from the menu.

You'll also find Youtube is a great source for video tutorials for
almost any software. I am sure there are plenty of How-To-Guides for
beginners, even in OpenOffice.

Subject: [discuss] Help!
As I recover from having to replace my harddrive I am using OpenOffice
instead of the MS Office I was familiar with.
So far it works adequately with my existing WORD documents, but I'm at
my wit's end trying to create new documents which should be a simple
process.
For example, what used to be a simple task of copying text somewhere and
then pasting into a new document does not yield something that has the
original appearance. It creates a weird "table" with unexpected
formating, margins, and borders with no apparent tools to correct any of
it. I've done trial and error with various commands and just increased
my frustration.
Referring to the various "support" or "help" sites or forums just added
to the nightmare as they seem unable to deal with the simplest item
without bringing in all sorts of complicated options.
Maybe I'm missing some basic key to understanding the Writer or text
portion of OO? It works great with my existing Excel spreadsheets, but
I dread when I need to create new ones...will it be as mysterious as the
simple creation of a document seems to be?
Can anyone help make simple tasks simple?
