Hi, not sure if we are talking about the same type of file. I am thinking you might be referring too the main openoffice folder, not a file from one of the modules. I did try to zip it, expand, rename, (not in that order) and did not have any luck, only the original "file" appears and nothing else (no folder). The file is a writer file -"open document text" (like a word file) that locks up my computer. I do have all startup programs off, except MSs programs. I will reboot and turn on everything and try to open, not sure if the soffin.bin program is part of the problem. Will try note pad and maybe word, not sure if word will open it. Thanks for any help.

Just rename the file to something.zip, unzip it and you'll find some xml files. These can be opened with an text editor, such as gEdit, Emacs, Vi or even OpenOffice.org, edited and saved. Then zip it again and rename it to something.odt. Johnny Rosenberg 2008/3/5, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi, > > Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question.
