When I try to open a file a a box called "ascii Filter Options", with character set, language etc, comes up on the screen which I have to ok and then it opens up with unreadable text. I can't remember what they were previously but I bring up their properties and they are described as XML 1.0 Text Document (.wpd). I have a whole lot from 2003 and AOO is trying to open them with. If I can start with the earliest files I am trying to open. If the files you want to open are not on the list, you need to find another way to open them, either by converting them to a file type which is on the list or by using the original application which wrote the files. This is a list of the file types which Writer 4.1.2 can open. doc files (Word 6, Word 95, Word 97/2000/XP) even though all are called. Remember too that there are several different types of. We need to know what type the files are to offer relevant advice. doc, etc) which is important.Īre the files you can open, and the files you cannot open, the same type - ie are they are all. The date you saved them should be irrelevant. You say you can open some files you saved in 2005 but not others you saved in 2005. It is far more likely that the files you and your friend are opening are different, or that you are using different versions of AOO. It is most unlikely that AOO operates any differently under Windows 10 compared with Windows 7 or even XP. I have a friend who uses 2007 and claims not to be having any problems at all. If you want different view settings (if you want the folder contents to display as a list, or thumbnails, or details, or whatever) in different folders, you might not want to apply to all folders, but then you'd also need to remember to set the view options in each folder you use.Molley wrote:I can't help thinking that Open Office has issues with Windows 10 which I use with my computer. If you click the "Apply to all folders" button, the settings you have in the current folder will carry across all folders on yours system. Disabling this allows you to see the file extensions, so you know at a glance what file format a document is in. Scroll down a bit and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types." Make sure it's not selected I believe it is selected by default. Choose Tools> Folder options and click the View tab. Open Windows Explorer, or open any folder that's handy. Sounds like you need to set your system to be able to see the file extensions. The operating system requires them in order to know what to use for working with the file (what fonts to load, what program to open it with).

But that still does not address (I don't think) how to change all my existing document files that were changed during the installation upgrade to OO 2.3. The above does apparently allow the user to set how future files will be saved, and Microsoft Word 97, 2000, XP is an option that I've now selected. I also found this: In the General section, you can select default settings for saving documents, and can select default file formats.Ĭhoose Tools - Options - Load/Save - General [I copied and pasted the following: "By default, loads and saves files in the OpenDocument file format (.odt - for open document text). The only "change" options I see available now are to 1.text files, 2. I do not see anything in your comments on how to change them back. That was the "conversion" I was referring to.all my document files were changed. They are mostly all RTF files now (rich text files). The only documents with extensions that I have are in the "My Documents" files, and they are no longer ".doc files. Sorry for the delay in getting back, but part of it is due to my waiting for an email that I had received replies.none ever came even though I'm signed up for it.? ![]()
