Install an app that is capable of opening the files such as OpenOffice
or LibreOffice, read their files without complaining, do their work
and take their money. They're not asking you for advice on what
software to run or file formats to use, they're asking you to deliver
a service.

You can of course 'push' open formats where appropriate, but don't let
it get in the way of paying your rent and feeding yourself.
