Hello,

I'm having trouble when I recently upgraded to the latest Open Office. When I uninstalled the old one and installed the new one, all my Writer documents became unreadable. They changed to "Doc" files and I can't seem to convert them back, or save them as a different file type. So, I'm stuck. Please email me back if you can help. This didn't happen to my spreadsheet documents, only the writer ones.

Thanks,
Doug

Doug, the formats of the actual files would not have been changed by the installation. Most likel;y, what has happened is that the file association with Writer got lost. If you right click on one of the files and choose Open With, then browse to your OOo Writer program (swriter.exe), select it, and choose the option to always use this program for these files, you should be back in business.
