Sorry you're having trouble, Annie, but you're not likely to receive phone calls. My guess is that you're in North America, but don't know where, and this email list is populated by volunteers who also use Open Office, but are unlikely to volunteer to make long distance phone calls. You likely saved the document in some other format. Make a copy of the document you own. Call it test or whatever. Make a list of the kind of file extensions you are able to save files as in Open Office. The file extension is the three letters after the dot in the file name to tell Open Office what type of file it is. (If you go to file, save as, and then the dropdown box, you will see a whole list of possible extensions, like.doc, .odt, .sxw, etc. Try renaming your test file as test.extension (replace the word extension with one of the three letter ones you found above), so that your file now reads, for example test.doc. Try to open the file with Open Office. If it doesn't work, try using a different extension. I think, if you work your way through the list of possible extensions, you should find the one that will let you read the file. Then save it as an open document file (.odt) and you're back in business. Hope this helps!
