Hiring someone to translate those "complicated" sheets in to a combination of python and basic CLI tools like grep to work with CSVs might be worth it in the long term, but for word processing and presentations, if you can export to PDF rather than be passing things in and out of the organization, OpenOffice should work well.
Your issue will be that ultimately, if you're not exporting to PDF or ODT but trying to export to Microsoft's proprietary format you'll always end up chasing some obscure bug on a deadline that will make the entire endeavor not worth whatever costs were present up until that point.
