Hi Thomas,
The icons and the file description displayed in windows explorer don't tell you
much about a file, but rather what windows thinks the file is. This is set up in
the windows file association. Have you got file extension display turned off? If
so, turn it on using 'tools / folder options / view' and uncheck the box 'Hide
extensions...'. Tell us what the extensions on the files are.
Can you open one of these files by running OOo, and using 'file / open', then
browsing to the file?
How did you get the files into the new folder? Did you copy them or use 'file /
save as'?

Still no response to my OOCalc problem, so let me put it another way. Old Excel
files, which converted happily to OOCalc & were regularly worked on, now, after
having been put in a new folder, describe themselves as Excel and won't open. If
no-one can tell me how to open them, can someone at least tell me what their icons
(new to me) mean---or where I can find them described? One is green with a cross in
the middle. Others are blue bottom half and pink across the top. I am am really
stuck with this. T.M. Steel
