When you save a new file, make sure that Automatic file extension
is checked. (It probably is not.)
For the files you have already saved without an extension, open
each one up and do a Save As with the Automatic file extension box
checked.
GRS has given you a link that will explain how to save your
documents in both file formats at one time. It contains a TYPO.
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/ is the correct URL. As he
wrote, look for "Multi-save Addon in English". It is in the
Miscellaneous section.
