If the file was created with OpenOffice I expected that the file type
should be .odt if you have saved it as a MS Office file .doc
OpenOffice should still be able to open it.
If on the other hand you haven't created the file yourself then you
should be aware that some historical documents may use the .doc
extension for plain-text file format.
The .doc extension was also used in historical versions of WordPerfect
for its proprietary format.
The file was created under Open Office and "saved as" a Microsoft Word
file. It may have been when I was using Open Office under OS/2.
And by the way Windows 97 is only an Operating System and has nothing
to do with the actual format of the file extension.
Thanks.
