    Is there a program that converts files from either of those formats to the regular .doc that micrsoft office would read? It's really annoying not having a working cd key for office so I need something that can change it so I can send files to teachers etc and they can still read them

    The good new is yes...But, first: Verify that the converter is not already installed.
    1. To see a list of installed converters that you can use to save documents, click Save as on the File menu and look at the available choices in the Save as type box.
    2. To see a list of installed converters that you can use to open documents, click Open on the File menu and look at the available choices in the Files of type box.
    If Word does not have your file format converter available there is additional good news...

    Connect to the internet, Open Word, click on help, type converters and click search, then click Obtain file format converters and then click either one of the hyperlinks microsoft office resource kit or microsoft office.

    NOTE: once you have the converter loaded word has a built in Batch Conversion Wizard click on help, search for "file conversion" and click Convert Documents then click convert several docs at once and follow the instructions

    I think you got it the wrong way round, the OP wants to convert open office documents to .doc files which will open in MS Word (actually I thought they already did)
