All you need to do is to mount the Windows partition when using the Linux
system, and then copy the files into a directory on the Linux partition.  If
the Windows partition is VFAT then you could even edit them in place but you 
can not do this reliably if the partition is NTFS.

There is no need to convert the file formats as OO will edit DOC files very
well.
