You can set up the whole Office environment to run on OpenOffice.org
instead of Microsoft Office if you choose. 

The easiest way to migrate a SMALL office is to 
 1* Research the differences between products
 2* leave existing Office Apps installed
 3* Install OpenOffice.org beside your existing setup
 4* Mandate all internal documents be saved in ODF format
 5* Deal with individual issues as they come up

I dont recommend hurrying into things for a larger office environment.
Spend more time at step 1 in that case. Research other migration cases
as well.

I consider a small office to be up to 10 seats.
Some issues that will arise:
 * Macros
 * Favourite application behaviour changes
 * Having to learn new techniques (mail-merge, address labels)
 * Belligerent users (the kind that hate change).

In the case of beligerent users, step 4 above must be reinforced, but
only after you identify that the issue is not a valid one. 

Also it is vital you understand the reasons for using ODF instead of
.DOC files. Without being able to satisfactorily explain this to others
the whole process can bog down.
