You probably need to *right* click, choose "Open with ..." and then select OpenOffice (OO) from the list of suggestions. If OO isn't in the list, use the "Browse" function to find it in the directory in which you installed it. If you like you may then check the box labelled "Always use this program". If you do that then subsequently normal doubble clicking Word/Excel documents will cause them to open in OO. Note you must select the "Always use this program" box once for each type of document - Word, Excel, Powerpoint.

Alternatively you may change the File Association for Word (.doc) and Excel (.xls) files. Please see Windows's Help for details of how to do this.
