I am aware that many people pay for OpenOffice, when they don't have
to, as you did. As for your "fix", there's no need to remove
OpenOffice, if you follow the directions I provided. You can have as
many word processors as you want on a computer and do so without
problems.
Please respond only to the mail list (users@openoffice.org)

I bought, paid for, downloaded and registered OpenOffice a few days ago. My system is Vista. Now, how in the world did OpenOffice change all of my WordPerfect12 files throughout my entire computer into OpenOffice writer files? And, how do I get them back into WordPerfect?

1) You did not have to pay for OpenOffice. It is a free download from www.openoffice.org.
2) I have never heard of that happening with Word Perfect files, though
it will happen with Microsoft Office files, depending on what you
select during the install. Somehow the file associations have been
changed so that Word Perfect files are now associated with OpenOffice.
It is easy to set them back, by following these instructions.
Changing file associations
Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and
choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
