To NoOp: How is your arthritis and carpal tunnel now? I admire your guts
for sticking with Linux, despite all the pain it can cause you. I will
join you in petitioning, someone to make a viable voice dictation
program, if you think it is possible to get enough people to bear
pressure on the companies involved. Believe it or not, all my griping
about Linux is really about the loss are none availability of such a
program! Where can we get a petition going or at least the proper
persons to address at these companies to accomplish this goal? I am
sincere in this statement and not acting as a troll. :-\

If I recall correctly (I don't use windows anymore), you need to select
an option in windows explorer to enable you to see common file
extentions. You should have this turned on anyway so that you can see if
a trojan or virus has renamed a file or added an extention.

The .zip files *are*, in fact, OpenOffice Writer (.odt) document
files, but - as you say - sometimes arrive masquerading as a zip
archives (which is what OpenOffice document files are, in fact).
Don't try to extract the zipped archive (or let your operating system
do so). Instead, just rename the whole downloaded files from .zip
back to .odt and you will have no problem.
I trust this helps.
