If you do pick another word processor, I like the FreeOffice suite from 
Softmaker Office. I think it has most of the
commercial version capabilities. (I haven't used the new FreOffice suite 
very long--there used to be a full version
available free to non-commercial users. The new FreeOffice is free to 
all users, commercial or not. I have used
the old free version quite a bit, and I like it a lot. I doesn't force 
you into a strait jacket like OO and LO.)

My "guess" is that you've somehow set AOO to run as administrator.
Perhaps this will help (substitute winzip for soffice.exe):

IK made a mistake in my earlier posting (it is the middle of the night here!).  
My recommendation of deleting the OO User Profile was made to another case I am 
dealing with.  

In this case ("requires elevation") the solution lies in adjusting the user's 
rights applied by Windows 7 or 8. As I don't use such recent versions of 
Windows I can give no guidance based on my own knowledge, hence my 
recommendation to seek for help on a Windows Forum.

I took it that the phrase "or pay for Windows" meant "purchase MS Office for

This is a Windows problem - you need to change the permissions applied to 
OpenOffice and the OpenOffice files; you should consult a Windows Forum fore 
more directed help.

If you are using Windows, start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill all 
soffice processes shown on TaskManager's Processes tab.

It happens from time to time that there are delivery issues with some

notified that some messages were not delivered to you.

It is possible. The limits of document fidelity between applications may or
may not be meet your operational requirements.

Write <-> Word - mostly yes. Content can be read but layout is often a bit
different even in simple documents. The difference that is most troubling
for me is I find is page margins don't match and then page breaks are in
different spots in the text. If there are manual page breaks it is more of
a concern because that can result in extra pages in the document. It will
have page break from text flow when opened in the alternate application and
then another from the manual page break in the source file. Fields and
macros I don't have direct experience.

Calc <-> Excel - mostly yes. Cells filled with data and simple formulas
work well. I have even created spreadsheets in Calc to manage business
processes, saved them as .xls, provided to users in other companies who
have only Excel, and the logic continues to work. And the reverse, people
have provided me Excel files they're trying to "make work", I've made
modifications with Calc, returned and the files have been used
successfully. Not all functions work. One example I can think of is Excel's
subtotal(). I don't have experience trying macros from Excel in Calc. I
don't print much from Calc or Excel but I find I get many more unexpected
outputs printing with Calc than I do with Excel.

Presentation <-> Powerpoint - Limited experiences. Sometimes no issue
however I have experienced layout and formatting differences opening a
presentation in the application it was not created with.

Access - no. There are means to read the data but any forms and application
logic must be recreated.

This may sound discouraging. Please don't be. I have successfully used a
Linux pc and Write <-> Word and Calc <-> to Excel for a stretch of years in
a business environment exchanging files daily with people using Windows and
MS Office exclusively. The typical documents I encountered in my
environment almost never contained elements that required me to switch to
MS Office to ensure successful sharing.

1. Go to http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
2. Select "Windows (EXE)" from the dropdown.
3. Select your language from the second dropdown.
4. Click "Download full installation."

That is, the Windows installer is not broken out by x86/x64.

My comment that you could run OpenOffice alongside MS Office applies directly 
to Windows machines.  On a linux machine you may have to run MS Office (and 
Windows) either in some form of virtual machine, or in dual boot mode.

Yes, with the caveat that the MS Office format filters have been reverse 
engineered, so there may be formatting differences.  the various .nnnx formats 
may be read but will not write reliably.  Database files may need considerable 
adjustment.

You can load OpenOffice and run it alongside MS Office to explore the 
possibilities.
