What do you mean by "to move over"?  Openoffice can comfortably handle
the Microsoft documents.  Why not just use Openoffice on the files you
are working with and then save them in the format you want?

My wife is using Debian Linux with Openoffice at home and Windows with
Word at work.  She is a teacher and most of her documents are prepared
on Openoffice and when she needs to use a document at school she just
saves it in a format Microsoft can handle.  The other way round is not
a problem.
