For the files you have already saved without an extension, open each one up and do a Save As with the Automatic file extension box checked. GRS has given you a link that will explain how to save your documents in both file formats at one time. It contains a TYPO. http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/ is the correct URL. As he wrote, look for "Multi-save Addon in English". It is in the Miscellaneous section. Dan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] Writer problem saving to formats
I have OpenOffice ver. 2.0.3 and in Writer having an issue with saving documents. I have need to save in both .odt and .doc extensions. Both saved files have had the appropriate estension and note in the Open File window. Lately, when I save to either format, the document appears in the Open File window as a generic "File" with no extension. If I then try to save in the other format, I get a message that the file already esists, overwrite? This has not happened before. I deleted the OpenOffice program from my PC and just downloaded the current version and theiissue persists. Rebooting does not help. Any suggestions on how to resolve? Jon Marx
