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).
