Thank you, Anthony Chilco for responding. I hope you still have patience!
Here are my initial replies to your 3 questions:
1. I can't find anything remotely like Folder Options in Tools on OOCalc.
Please can you tell me how to find that?
2. I can't see what you mean by opening one of the files by running OOo.
What is OOo? & where would I find 'File open'?
3. Unfortunately I can't remember which method I used to get the files into
the new folder. I made copies first, for new use & then deleted the old
figures in the new copies & started afresh. Then I created a New Folder.
Then I think I used the right click method to move the old ones. But I may
have used 'Save as'. TMS

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.
