When I first downloaded Openoffice writer everyone was opening my attatchments
just fine, but in the last couple of weeks no one has been able to open
anything. Has something changed? I have Vista, is it possible that I have
downloaded something during a windows update that is disallowing documents to
open that don't use Microsoft?
Any suggestion would be helpful.

In OpenOffice Writer go to Tools>Options>Load/Save>General. Near the
bottom are two drop-down lists specifying how different types of
document (text, spreadsheet etc.) are to be saved. If you like you can
ask that your OpenOffice documents are *always* saved in the appropriate
MS format. These lists are how you set OO's default file-saving behaviour.
Also, when you want to save in a non-default (see above) format, make
sure the "Automatic file name extension" box is checked within the "Save
As" dialogue. Windows doesn't know what to do with files whose names
don't have the correct extensions (the ".xyz" bit after the actual name).
