Are you talking about on Windows machines?  If so, it apparently is taking over the .doc extension normally used by Word.  I would suggest re-assigning .doc to Word and using some different file extension for OO.  To do that, go into Windows Explorer, select Tools-Folder Options, and select the File Types tab.  Locate DOC in the list of extensions and choose Change to change the program assigned to it.  You should see Microsoft Word in there.  Select it and you will have re-assigned Word to that extension.  Your next task is to add a new 3 digit suffix and assign the OO word type of application to that suffix.  You’d then need to change the suffixes on any OO word type documents to that new extension.  That way, when they double click on those documents it will launch OO.
