Hi Dan I created a text file using version 1.9.62 and it has a *.oot file extension. I now downloaded the most recent recent version of OpenOffice (2.1) and now the earlier files cannot be accessed. I searched for ways to ammend this on the web pages but got nowhere. I appreciate your help. Thanks, C

Since you mentioned 1.9.m65, is this the version you are using? That was an Alpha version for OOo 2.0. It was never designed for normal everyday use. I would recommend you get version 2.1 from www.download.openoffice.org/2.1/. If the file is in fact *.ott, it is a text template. It is not a regular text file, but it is only an outline of what you want your text documents to look like. You do not convert *.ott files to *.odt. So, could you be a little more specific as to why you want to convert you *.oot to *.odt?
