The mathematics in a Microsoft Office document is not an ordinary part of
the document but an embedded object provided by a completely seperate
program (licensed by Microsoft from another company). The problem is a

Is OpenOffice able to open any of the documents you mention?

If you have futher problems opening Microsoft documents please do create a
report in bugzilla and include sample documents we can test against.
