OpenOffice.org 3.1 and newer packages on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) doesn't associate with Text documents, Spreatsheets and other files until desktop-file-utils 0.15-2 or newer package is installed. OOo doesn't open word documents and other supported files by double clicking in file-manager, because update-desktop-database command was removed from openoffice.org packages and dpkg triggers are used instead, see desktop-file-utils changelog:

desktop-file-utils (0.15-2) unstable; urgency=low
  * Do not hardcode the path to update-desktop-database in postinst.
  * postrm: remove created caches upon removal.
  * triggers: register interest in /usr/share/applications.
  * postinst: run update-desktop-database when triggered.
