I lost some tax info. because my MIcrosoft Works was a trial version and I was unaware!!! I was directed to Office Org. by a dell Rep. I have downloade version 2.3.1 but cannot open my Works documents. Is it possible to open them with Open Office?

Most versions of OpenOffice can't handle those files. What you can do, is install the free Microsoft Word & Excel viewers & Compatibility Pack, which can read Works documents. Installing those viewers will make them the default application for Microsoft Office document types, so you will have to reset the file associations back to OpenOffice.

Changing file associations

Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
