Yes and no. Unless the Word documents have complete formatting,
they should look about the same in OOo (OpenOffice.org) as in Word.
Calc and Excel are a different story. The main problem is in the
area of formulas while the rest of it should also be about the same.
For example, Excel uses commas in some of its formulas where Calc
uses a semi-colon. The names of the formulas are not always the same
either. There could be some problems if there were macros involved.
There is documentation on these items at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/.
