Sorry to have not followed up on this matter to the members who tried to assist. At present I am trying to overcome a problem in that Windows 7 that I have to change to on a replacement computer is not accepting Open Office. At present it has been narrowed down to the copy of Windows 7 on the computer I am changing to. My Open Office files are as they should be on other computers with Windows 7 but are opening without file names in the title bar on the Windows 7 I have. People with more knowledge than I have are trying to sort this out. Please do not reply to this as it will be hijacking the original thread. I will start this thread again when the Windows 7 problem is sorted out. Thank you for the help so far. [email protected]
