Tom,
In one file location I discovered that the attachment I was trying to open
was an .dat extension. I happened to receive a call from my son whose work
involves computers though he does not use OpenOffice. He told me he thought
MSWord XP would open the file. It did, though I lost some formatting. I
saved it in MSWord XP with a .doc extension. It is working fine now.
Apparently it did not suit OpenOffice. No, I had not tried to rename the
file entering a WordPerfect extension.
While I was working with it, my friend re-sent the file and its parts. He
said, "Jerry, after receiving your message I tried to open Chapter #12 and
couldn't. Chapter #11 opened perfectly. The only difference is in
"Endnotes." I'll delete these and resend. However, there have been endnotes
on several of the previous article. A mystery for now." I had opened his
other documents beautifully even with endnotes.
Now when I click on the attachments he sent to open them, I get a dialog box
that says, "This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control
panel." Previously a little box would come up listing programs (including
OpenOffice) from which I could choose one to open the attachment file. I
don't get that choice now. Any idea how to find and make "an association in
the Folder Options control panel"? I thought we had found a way to remove
the problem?
Thanks for helping,
JT
