A couple of points: When installing OOo you will be asked if you want it to be the default program for .doc, .xls etc. files. You may want to leave those boxes unchecked. OOo cannot work on the docx format files of MSOffice2007, so you will need to use one of the earlier formats (XP, 97) if you are wanting to exchange documents between the programs.
