Hello Doug
Please read the How-To install for OpenOffice.org on the Mac
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf
available on the Mac porting pages (http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/)
There are different versions of OpenOffice.org for Intel Macs and PPC Macs
There are different versions for Tiger and for Panther of the
windowing program X11 that you will need to run OpenOffice.org on a
Mac
Please don't mess up versions of this and that, because it won't work!
Once X11 and OOo are installed, you can read, edit and save MS Office
(doc, xls, ppt) files, MS Works files is not so evident.
Good luck
