Follow--up: Today I reinstalled version 1.1.5. With that version, the problem described below does not occur. I can save documents as Word or Excel documents and they are indicated as such. The problem described below occurs with Open Office version 2.1. I uninstalled 2.1 and reinstalled it, but the problem is still there. I am using Windows XP with a 2-month old HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. Thanks for your help.

Also, the documents would be saved, and indicatd as such, as Word and Excel documents. Presently, this does not occur. The saved document is indicated as a "File" document, and users of Office cannot open them. These documents are received as .dat documents that apparently cannot be opened by Office users. What is going on?
