(CC to OP on assumption of not being subscribed) By default OpenOffice.org saves files in Open Document Format (ODF). ODF is also the default format of Lotus Symphony. In your Windows settings the ODF format became associated with Symphony when you installed Symphony so ODF files saved from OpenOffice.org will display as being Symphony files. It is really the same thing, the difference being only what application Windows has associated with that file type. You can change the association if you like. Of course if you do that then ODF files saved by Symphony will appear as OpenOffice.org files. Whichever program is associated with ODF will be the default that a file opens in when you double-click the file icon. If you want to open the file in the other program you can right-click the file icon and select from "Open with...". I don't use Windows so can't give step by step instructions on how to change the program associated with a format. I'm sure it would be easy to find how on Google.
