From another member of this mailing list:

Excel and Word are Microsoft programs. You must get them from MS.
There is a spreadsheet program in OOo called Calc which can read and
write .xls file types; although the compatibility is very good, it is not
perfect.
The word processor in OOo is called Writer and can read and write .doc
files
almost perfectly. I have about one minor problem per year.
If you need compatibility for co-operative development of a document, then
you
should ensure that all collaborators are using the same program. If,
however,
you want something for your own use, then OpenOffice.org is an excellent
replacement for MS Office.

An added note:
OpenOffice.org is a free office suite, but MS Office is not. You must
purchase whatever MS Office programs you need from a vendor who sells
them. As far as I know, MS Office programs are not available as free
downloads from anywhere unless that site is doing something illegal.
