First off, what version of OpenOffice.org did you get, and where? Although there are sometimes
formatting differences between MS Office and OOo (due to the proprietary nature of most MS formats),
these are generally minor. What file extensions are causing you problems -- .doc, .docx, ...? What
kinds of issues do you have?
Unfortunately, if you are using a recent version of OOo (I believe 3.2.1 is the current one) and
having significant trouble, you'll have to use either MS Office (or the relevant application from
it, like Word) or one of the free viewers that MS provides. You might then be able to copy and paste
into an OOo document, perhaps with formatting elements already in place, to get an equivalent document.
