When you installed OpenOffice, you were given the option of making it the default application for Microsoft Office files. It is easy to change this back, by resetting the file associations (as described below). Beyond that, however, the installation should have had absolutely no effect on Microsoft Office or files. Are you saying you can't save in Microsoft formats? How are you saving them. You have to select the appropriate file type when saving. By default, OpenOffice saves in the ISO standard ODF file formats, which Microsoft refuses to support. When you use "Save as", you have to select the desired file type from the drop down list. Simply changing the extension will not work. Also, enable automatic file type extension. If you have further problems, please ask here again.
