It depends on the context.
In a building - an open office is simply lots of desks in a single (often very large) room - like a call centre.
OpenOffice software - is a suite of programs similar to Microsoft Office - the difference is - you need to pay for Microsoft's version - whereas OpenOffice is free.
If you mean an activation code - there isn't one ! Open Office is 'open source' meaning it's free for any one to use. It doesn't require activating or registering.
Open Office is free...but why?
Not sure exactly what you're asking. If you mean 'what would be a comparable product to open office' - I'd say Microsoft Works. Open office is a 'suite' of programs (as opposed to a stand-alone single program). Microsoft Works is also a suite.
Open Office is one of the leading Open Source office document productivity.
Usually there is no need to convert, since Open Office can read excel files (except Open Office probably will have problems with macros). If you have Excel 2007, then save the file in Office 2003 compatibility mode.

It depends what you mean by 'cant access'. a) If your computer crashed while a file was open - Open Office should automatically attempt to recover the file next time you open it. b) If the file is locked by a password - you need to enter the correct password to open it.
Yes - Open Office will read .doc attachments.
You mean run them at the same time? Sure, why not. I haven't used either in a while, but you can open files created in either suite with the other one, but you usually have to save the MS Office file using an older file format that Open Office can understand. I've done it before flawlessly. The only thing I've noticed is that the formatting might look slightly different in Open Office, but goes back to normal in MS Office. By now, the latest MS Office should be backwards compatible with Open Office, but read the documentation. Better yet, when you save a file in MS Office, save it as you would a normal file. Then save-as and choose the older file format, e.g. MS Office 2007. Open both up in Open Office, and see if you get a prompt. If they both open up fine, you're good to go. I don't think there are really any problems with Open Office files opening in MS Office. The open-source community is really good at making sure Open Office files can be read using MS.
You need to open the files with the appropriate Office 2007 program and save in compatibility mode. You usually cannot open Office 2007 files with Office 2003.
Assuming you mean Open Office Impress... Open the file, click on Format, then Page. In the new window that opens, click on the Background tab, select Colour from the drop-down menu, and choose your colour from the list.
No, the post office is not open on Columbus day.
