So, what is the extension of your documents? Is it .doc or what?
Furthermore, where does Doxillion come into this? You must have
it as the primary app for the file extension of your documents.
Why did you set it up that way???

Sorry Robert
I calmed down enoughnow to realise about reply all after the last
email.
I can't actually open the 4.1.1. version of any of my documents. If I
double click I just get the Doxillon converter, not the document
itself. So I have to click on 'convert' before I can see the doc. If I
click on the converted document I first get the Apache Open Office
logo and then the doc opens . I can right click and click on default
formatting but it just creates an identical document that I then have
to save. All the formatting remains a disaster.
The Libreoffice will be down loaded in about 5 mins so I'll see if
that makes any difference.

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

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?
Christine
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.
