it was okay to do this.  Thank you in advance.   Any further advice would be

All you should have to do to save in MS Word format is select File > Save As and from the File Type drop down, pick Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP. Then your document is saved in Micorsoft Office format.

You can also set an option so that OpenOffice.org always saves in MS Office format (and then you don't need to do a Save As to get an Office compatible document).
  - Click Tools > Options
  - Click the + next to Load/Save to open that menu
  - Click on General
  - Find the section labeled Default file format.
There are 2 drop down boxes here. You can select each document type and set the default file format. So for example to set Writer to always save in MS Word format, select Text document on the left drop down box, and select Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP on the right box.

If you do this, then you don't need to remember to explicitly save your docs in MS Office format.

I hope this helps, and you give OpenOffice.org a second chance.
