OK. I'll tell you it doesn't.
One of the early screens in the installation asks which M$O files you
want OOo to open by default. There are three selections, one each for
M$Word, M$Excel, and M$PowerPoint. Make sure they are all checked.
I believe that to correct an existing installation, you can run
Setup.exe again (OOo 1.1.x) or Add/Remove Programs (OOo 1.9.xxx) and
select Repair. For certain, you can update the file associations
through Windows Explorer. There is a FAQ that addresses going the other
way (remove associations from OOo), but the process is the same to
associate file types with OOo. You just have to select the correct
application(s).

I just installed OpenOffice on a machine that already had MS Office
installed on it, and EVERYTHING WORKS THE WAY I WANT.
Please, please, please somebody tell me that OpenOffice does not require
MS Office in order to work the way I want.
