You not need to put files into same directory either the program files of the office suite is located nor the user profile of the office suite is located.
Yo can put them into the Desktop directory or into the Documents directory.


I suppose that your problem is related to the file associations of the office suite.
The ODF fil formats will be associated automatically when the installer of the office suite run.
And you can assign the MS file types (.doc, .xls, ... etc.) during a custom installation. Just choose the "custom installation" option after launching the installer.
Or you can assign the files by usage the relevant function of the Win 10 operating system to assign the various file types to the Apache OpenOffice or to the LibreOffice.
