Yes. Partly. No. Depends on what you want to do. For general users there almost never are any problems, for advanced users there are some issues. Open Office can open and edit documents created and saved with Microsoft Word in Words native formats of .doc and .docx. Word cannot open OpenOffice's .odt format but Open Office can save as .doc (several versions), .docx and other file types that MS Word can recognize. You will find some incompatibilities if you have some advanced formatting, some table formatting etc.

Is OpenOffice compatible with Microsoft Office Word?
Yes they are compatible! OpenOffice.org reads Microsoft office files fine, including the older office 2003 formats, and the newer xml based (2007+) ones. There maybe a few odd formatting things you need to tweek if you save from openoffice.org to Microsoft office, but generally it works fairly well. If you want the best compatibility, then try go-oo, a fork of openoffice that has better compatibility, even with stuff like Microsoft VBA macros. So yes, it works fine. And of course, openoffice always works better on Linux! Also, don't forget when saving to change 'odf' to Microsoft office. But you can change the default save format to msoffice if your using it frequently
