I don't know exactly what "template section" you refer to, but the official repository for OpenOffice.org templates at http://templates.services.openoffice.org only accepts ODF files; of course, a submitter can "advertise" other repositories in the description and thus it might happen that some non-ODF files are listed, but there's no way to download a .doc file from http://templates.services.openoffice.org directly. As I wrote elsewhere in this thread, the best (and only?) way to grasp the inner workings of http://templates.services.openoffice.org is uploading a template. The procedure will show you how complex and, in a way, smart the OpenOffice.org Templates site is. Anyone thinking about making a new Templates site should really upload a few templates to http://templates.services.openoffice.org to have an idea: making a new one is feasible, but it's a lot more work than one would imagine at first glance.
