Mary, I think that the biggest problem you have is that .obt is not being recognized because this in not an OOo extension. The extension that I think you want is .odt for automatic recognition. So I suggest that you use the open dialogue and specify in the filetype field that the target document is of the type OpenDocument Text. Chances are it will open correctly. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
