Having used QuickBooks with OpenOffice, the easiest way to get them to work is to change your file associations. Assuming you are using Windows (per your e-mail), open Windows explorer and look for the various extensions that you formerly used with MS Office. Find each one in turn, i.e. *.doc, *.xls, *.xlt, *.csv, *.rtf, and any others that you often used and associate them to open with OpenOffice. In QuickBooks you can go into options and specify OpenOffice instead of MS Office programs. If you share any of your documents you create in QuickBooks with others, you may want to "Save As" MS Office documents, since MS Office will not open OpenOffice documents. If you (or QuickBooks) have any macros embedded in the spreadsheet templates (Excel), or other templates, they will not work in OpenOffice. However, you can reconstruct them with the Macro feature in OpenOffice, if it's worth the time and effort for you.
