Microsoft will periodically do automatic update unless you turn off that feature. If they recently completed an update, it may have simply reset your file associations. If OOo is installed correctly, you should still be able to access you work by opening first the application and then opening the file from within the application. Most casual Office users will open the file from Explorer or my documents and that only works by file associations and is technically not the best way to access the file.
If the files will not open from within OpenOffice, there may be something wrong with your install of OpenOffice- Especially if they will open correctly in MS Office, which has a weaker ability to open damaged files. If it is simply something wrong with the file associations and OpenOffice is fine, just go into Explorer and change the file associations back to OpenOffice.

What the hell is going on? I go to My Documents and find that almost every document that had been in Open Office is now back in Microsoft Word and I'm having one hell of a time getting my work done! I'm went and reinstalled OpenOffice 2 and still the damn documents are in Word! Did those assholes at Microsoft find I was using OpenOffice and screw up everything? I'm a former consumer investigative reporter for Post Newsweek TV and do NOT need this aggravation! What I do to fix this ASAP?
