The problem here is the first line of an exported HTML document by
default.  You can safely delete that line and then import it into Word
or OpenOffice.  Alternatively, you can tell org not to generate that
line in the first place:

(setq org-export-html-xml-declaration 
  (quote (("php" . "<?php echo \"<?xml version=\\\"1.0\\\" encoding=\\\"%s\\\" ?>\"; ?>"))))

works for me.
