most probably, that message comes from a trial version of microsoft office that 
has been once installed on your computer and whose trial period has run out. 
you still may open .doc and .xls files through the 'file -> open' dialogue or 
you may change the file associations in your system: right-click on a .doc 
file, choose 'open with', select openoffice from the list that appears, tick 
the option 'always use this program for this filetype' (or something similar) 
and click ok; then repeat for .xls and other types of files. (i assume you use 
windows because the problem looks microsoft specific.)
