Hey there is no worry about these files. These are one type of library files saved in your computer. It will not harm your PC anymore. As you have asked in you question you can also delete the .bom files from your computer. But as per my advised you have to keep all that .bom file in your PC. This is because when you next time install MS office in your PC, then thee is no need to install all these files again.

Hey these are all font's file that is saved by MS office. These font's file are used by OpenOffice also. The fonts that is used by MS office are the same fonts that is used by OpenOffice. In this case there is no need to delete all these files from your computer, because you can also use theses files in your OpenOffice application. You also will not face nay problem if you are tried to open file that is crated in MS office.
