Just a couple of questions/comments about this checkbox since it seems
like it's tripped up a few people recently, in terms of saving files:
First of all, why is this even an option? Under what circumstances would
one NOT want the file extension to be added?
Second, assuming it does in fact need to be an option, can this be made
the default, so that if a person does nothing, the file extension will
be added automatically? For example, on install, have the check box
checked by default, as opposed to unchecked by default.

The checkbox is in the dialogue box that pops up when you click
File=>Save As
Look below the File Name and File Type boxes, there is a checkbox
(there are three, but only one is titled "Automatic file name
extension") to tick your choice. If this is checked, you will get the
behaviour you seek.
HTH,

Dear Harold,
Thx. But I plead ignorance since my personal "tekkie", my son who
turned me on to OpenOffice, is not available to show me the box you
refer to. If you refer to folder options in control panel in XP, I
do not see it.
Thank you.
