Word pad files saved as doc gets converted to Microsoft Word how can you correct this?
The problem you are having is not of conversion. Rather, it is of association. Saving a file as .doc in Wordpad is the same as saving it as .doc in MS Word. The problem is that your computer is set to open .doc files with MS Word rather than Wordpad. This is common, and I believe MS Word sets this association by itself when installed. Try right-clicking a .doc file and choosing the Open with... option. In the dialog that appears, choose Wordpad and tick the box that says "Always open with this application"

There are several programs that will do this: Microsoft Word and WordPad among others.

Just enter the extension and they will list the programs that open: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/rtf
What will happen to Microsoft office if open office software has been downloaded?
Nothing. Downloading software does not affect currently existing software, but if "Open Office" automatically sets itself to open .doc (Microsoft Word) files, then the only way to open a file with Microsoft Word after that is either dragging and dropping the file onto the Microsoft Word icon or right-clicking on the file and selecting "open with > Microsoft Word"
