Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by imput (input) fields.

When you installed OOo you asked that OOo should become the default
application to open MS Office documents, by checking / ticking the
option which appears during the install process. Agreed, for
inexperienced users, the wording of that option is not as clear as it
could be. Looking at your message header you appear to be using some
flavour of the Windows OS, in which case it is a simple although
inconvenient process to change the file associations back to MS Office.
Find an MS Office file (eg. .doc) right click on it, choose the "Open
With..." option and select MS Word from the list. Repeat for xls, ppt,
etc.

Again, I don't understand what you mean "Word via Adobe". There is no
interrelationship between these 2 applications.

Yes it is extremely unfortunate that Microsoft is such an arrogant
organisation that they refuse to provide their users with the facility
to read file formats other than those that they dictate.

You wife's solution is simple. When she saves a file which is to be read
by MS Office users, she should use the "Save As" option and select the
appropriate MS Office format from the "File Type" drop down list.

You will find answers to most of your questions and a wealth of
documentation and tips here: http://documentation.openoffice.org/
