Christine -
I don't remember Windows Vista very well, but if you right-click on
one of your documents, do you see something about choosing the default
program to open them with? If so, you can tell it to use your new
OpenOffice and that will then apply to all of your documents.
(Please do Reply to All if you answer, so your message also goes to
the whole list and not just to me.)

Thank you so much for getting back so quickly Robert. I'm in heart attack

I have Windows Vista on my computer. I have been using Open Office 3.3 very
happily for years.
I haven't lost any actual ocuments. They all seem to be there. I just can't
open any of them by the usual method of clicking on the document icon. I am
getting messages that seem to imply I am going to have to convert hundreds of
docs using Doxillon or something similar - one by one? Wouldn't it be
easier to just reinstall 3.3?

I haven't

How exactly are you trying to open the documents? And what exactly happens
when you try? What operating system are you using? Windows?
Many people have done such an upgrade without losing anything, so I'm
optimistic that you haven't lost your documents.
