Office home and student conflict

I am running vista home and when i got my new laptop there was a trial version of office which has now expired, i have many docs saved in this format. I have today installed home and student 2007 but cannot do very much with any of my current docs - i have had an error message that says there is a conflict

1. Can i save the docs, inlcuidng powerpoint presentations, i have created and use them as previously?
2. How do i resolve this conflict without loosing any of my docs?

many thanks

Yeah, Open Office is wonderful. When I was looking for work, different places wanted my resume in different Word versions. Open Office let me do that with a 'save as'. I was then able to submit my resume in several file formats.

You can save in different formats in Microsoft Word - just "save as" a different format. SP2 for MS Office also should have support for Openoffice format (.odt)
