I don't know exactly what "template section" you refer to, but the
official repository for OpenOffice.org templates at
http://templates.services.openoffice.org only accepts ODF files; of
course, a submitter can "advertise" other repositories in the
description and thus it might happen that some non-ODF files are listed,
but there's no way to download a .doc file from
http://templates.services.openoffice.org directly.

As I wrote elsewhere in this thread, the best (and only?) way to grasp
the inner workings of http://templates.services.openoffice.org is
uploading a template. The procedure will show you how complex and, in a
way, smart the OpenOffice.org Templates site is. Anyone thinking about
making a new Templates site should really upload a few templates to
http://templates.services.openoffice.org to have an idea: making a new
one is feasible, but it's a lot more work than one would imagine at
first glance.
