RE: Microsoft word has hijacked my docs

2018-09-12 Thread Vanessa Harvie
Hi Alan,

Gosh people are kind. I didn’t realise this was a user group when I emailed. I 
had an email from another kind man and am happy to say I have resolved the 
matter and have got all my docs back as Open docs. Yippee.

Thanks so much for taking the time.

All best, Vanessa

Right click on the document in File Manager and choose Open With. You will then 
be given a choice of which programme to use to open the document.
Hope this helps,Alan.

Subject: Microsoft word has hijacked my docs 


Hi ,

I have been using your Open Office 4.1.3 after a friend who works in IT 
downloaded it for me. All was well until I used a free trial period on 
Microsoft Word to read a document sent to me by someone. It as the only way to 
read it. Then a few weeks ago all my documents suddenly converted to Word docs 
and I can’t use them, alter them etc without paying a subscription. I have 
contacted Microsoft who say they cannot help. even though as I pointed out 
to them they have essentially stolen MY documents. It is outrageous. Is there 
some way to change them back to Open Office?

Many thanks.

Regards, Vanessa
