Hi,
I am using openoffice.org writer It no longer will take a document
writen
in open office and file it in microsoft 97 etc. There is no extension on
the file once store. When the attempting to open the file the MS window
comes up asking which application do I want to use. I select OO and the
file can be read. No other application can read the file.
Should I uninstall and download the latest release and reinstall or do I
have a windows XP problem?

This is actually a setting you'll need to change yourself. I had the
same problem. Manually adding the extension will fix it; but to
prevent the problem when the future, follow these quick steps:
File => Save As
IN the Save As Dialog box, name your file, select the format you wish
to save it in, and then under the "save as type" drop down menu,
you'll find an option with a checkbox that reads "automatic file name
extension". Make sure that box it checked, and click save.
That should take care of the problem. Somehow, your option got
unchecked (mine started out off by default.
