Why don't you just get an APA or MLA Document Template in Word format and use that with either Word 97 or OO?

HELP!!!! :)
My name is Mike. Please read this and see if ANYONE is able to help me! I may have just stumbled upon something that OOo is not compatible to do. I hope not, but I am unable to figure this out!
I have OOo 1.1.4 and LOVE it...... except for this dilemma. My OS is XP Home Edition on a 450mHz, 384 RAM, 20Gig HD system. I also have Word 97 installed (which isn't helping with the below issue either!) Here goes....
I have to write a dissertation for my Doctorate degree. I have found a couple good programs that format my dissertation (thesis) automatically, instead of me having to re-learn a certain writing styles like Turabian, MLA or APA. However, these programs say that they require that the PC system has: MS Word 2000 or greater, and that macros have to be turned on. OK... so what I have done is downloaded 2 separate programs to try them out to see which one I would rather purchase to write my paper. Well... as it turns out... it seems that OOo is not letting these programs work in conjunction with them, because all I get is a bunch of gobbly-gook on the pages in the text area that should have the format of MLA or Turabian laid out for me. Make sense? So that is why I am asking this. Is it about macros? Is it that OOo does not support this? What? And if any of you knew if OOo is TRULY compatible with other programs that require MS Word 2000 or newer, such as what I've discussed?
Let me know if all of that makes sense, and if you have any suggestions ASAP.
Thanks again!
Mike
