Is there a way I can "disable" WP, or otherwise make the computer use the Open Office/Word program to open Word docs?
Right click a document that you want to open in Open Office/Word. You should have an option to "Open with". You'll get a list of software that can open it, chose Open Office. There is also an option to "do this with all files like this"

On another note it would be great if there were a compatibility pack or some other way to open newer Word docs in older versions.
