Ask in general linux group, not ".x".

Try downloading most recent version, try it with simple M$ word documents.
Worked for me.

Try the OpenOffice users forums found here:

The problem MAY be the version of MS Office used to
create the docs you're trying to open. I'm not
sure that the latest MS Office doc formats (Office 2003,
etc) are supported - however, I use it to read Office 2000
docs all of the time.
