Whether is there a way how to force users to use exclusively MS word for particular docx and to prevent using anything else

We are unable to control behaviour of contributors and editors to the extent I would like to have, so I am trying to findout whether is there a way how to force users to use exclusively MS word for particular docx and to prevent using anything else? (I am not on MS payroll, I personally moved couple of people around me with 'standard' document writing needs to OpenOffice, but incompatibility in this case creates useless redaction work for us.) Bottom line is about various formatting issues, glue-ing of some words (occasionally space is missing), page footer/header modified or completely disappeared etc. Document is quite complex with differently structured paragraphs and fonts, bullets, numbering, embedded pictures, references to comments under the line, copied/pasted sections pasted with source formatting instead of pure text etc., so generally 'fragile' and maybe little bit exceeding expectations of OpenOffice authors for MS compatibility. I know this is too strange question, but we have multiple authors of one document and some contributors use OpenOffice to edit document, originating and edited by majority in MS word.
