To change the default format when saving: "Tools" -> "Options..." ->
"Load/Save" -> "General". Under the section "Default file format and
ODF settings" you can change the default file format for saving.
Under "Document type" click the drop-down and select "Text document".
Then under the "Always save as" drop-down, select the format you want.
I would suggest not using "Rich Text Format" (rtf), for various
reasons; it may be better to stick with the older "Microsoft Word
97/2000/XP/2003" (doc) format. As far as I'm aware, "ODF Text
Document" (odt) is compatible with most word processors (including
Microsoft Office Word), but you are free to use the format you're
comfortable with.

I believe MSO supports ODF 1.1 formats not the current 1.2 formats used
in LO. LO can be set to save to the older ODF 1.0/1.1 formats by default.
