You can save a document created in Openoffice in .doc format which is readable in both XP and Vista with MSOffice. I don't follow all of your question. If you want to install Openoffice on both XP and Vista you can save the documents you create in .doc format which will be readable by any machine running MSOffice. They will also be readable by Openoffice of course. Documents created with Office 2007 (.docx) are not readable by Openoffice without taking special measures (a plugin or a special version of Openoffice).
