I have recently purchased a new laptop with Windows8 occassioned by my spilling
a drink on my old laptop. I have down loaded Open Office to my new computer
and have copied my text files from my old computer's hard drive. My old
computer was a PC using Windows7 on which I used Open Office as my word
processor. I never had any problem opening, reading, amending or closing
Open Office text files usig Windows7 whether the files were originally created
in Opeen Office, or coverted from WordPerfect that I once used several years
ago. Using Open Office with Windows8, I am unabe to open and read Open Office
text files copied from my old computer. When I open a file, I get a table
entitled "ASCll Filter Options" ,with the following: Character set- Western
Europe ( ASCll/US), Font- Times New Roman, Language- English (USA). Upon
clicking the button "OK" the resulting screen has one or several lines of
characters that have no meaning to me. I might add that My Grandson downloaded
a program entitled LibreOffice 4. 0, that will open the Open Office files.
What must I do to open the text files using Open Office with Windows8.
