Openoffice has a neat Form Controls utility that allows any document to be used as a form for entering data into Base, the database program. I'm not sure on the exact procedure as I have not done this before myself.

You will have to redo the form, because the two formats are incompatible. You would be lucky to end up with gibberish if you tried to convert them (the alternative being an all-out, no-expenses-paid system crash with full loss of data).
