I can't believe that in a properly installed version of OpenOffice.org that contains the OOo Writer module a file that indeed is a proper Word file is not detected as such by OOo. So either your installation is somewhat damaged, the file has an extension that is registered to OOo Calc in you system or the file is not a Word file. Or some Gremlins have taken over you computer. :-) Ciao, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
