Well, given that most of the world has had it forced upon them, that's pretty much par for the course. I'm a little surprised that OO doesn't automatically do the conversions, though. Maybe try LibreOffice since they're supposed to have a better Word converter?

Edit: Found your problem: in your text editor, there should be a config option to switch it to windows mode. There is in Kate at least if you use a KDE-based distro. For a temporary switch its in the Tools menu, while a more permanent one is in the preferences.
