File | Open defaults to File Types "All files (*.*)".  This allows a novice user
to click on a document type that OOo does not support, such as PDF, and get a
confusing error message.

The suggested fix is to have File Open default to "All documents", which means
any document type that OOo recognizes, rather than *.*.

Alternatively, or additionally, when the user attempts to open an unsupported
document type, OOo could ask if the user wants to open it in the default
application, so for example, .pdf files would then be opened using Acrobat 
Reader.

FYI, there are several related enhancement suggestions:
