It woul be a good idea anyway to upgrade OpenOffice to the latest version 
although 2.0.4 is nearly here so you might want to wait rather than go through 
the process twice in quick (?) succession.

If you want to wait for 2.0.4 you should be able to get your existing version 
to work by associating .rtf files with OpenOffice. Normally they'd be 
associated with Wordpad so I'm surprised your system wants to open them with 
Word which is very different.

Alternatively, run OpenOffice and open the file from there using File>Open

Or *right* click on the file, choose "Open With" and, if OpenOffice is not 
already in the list of possible programs click Choose Program and select 
OpenOffice that way.
