Help Opening Documents in Word

[PerfectReign]

I'm having an issue with MS Word.

I'm upgrading several systems from WinXP to SuSE Linux. I plan to also
upgrade from Office XP / 2003 to OpenOffice 2.0. In the interim I will have
documents in both formats.

When I try to open an OpenOffice document in WordXP, I get the following:

I imagine that means I haven't downloaded a converter for OpenOffice. I
have looked on the Microsoft website but don't find one.

Can someone please let me know where one is?

TIA!!

Word does have a file conversion, I expect this is what the screen shot is showing
you. Does this dialogue come up when you try to open an OpenOffice file?

You can select in files of type "recover text from any file."

Thank you, I did try this, but it tried to convert from Turkish (?) which
is really funny.

I think I'll scour the web a bit more. Maybe there's a third-party
conversion utility?
