So installing openoffice should have nothing to do with your problems about removing MSOffice.
I don't really understand your last remark about "it is possible just to install microsoft to put openoffice on it?" You don't need to have MSOffice in order to install Openoffice. Openoffice will run normally whether or not you have MSOffice installed. The proof is that many people (like me) run linux with openoffice and you can't use MSOffice on linux (unless you run something like Wine). I hope this reassures you.
