Thanks Charlie for that. I have just updated to 3.4.2 to see if that would change things, but it did not. And yes, I DO have the legacy filters installed, which you need for the old .sxw etc formats but I don't think they are needed for Works. The documents on writersedge were in fact the ones I had found myself. There are three .wps files on there, and these all open fine, complete with formatting, bolding etc in MS Word Viewer. In LO 3.4.2: cad7593009.wps - opens blank, if I look at the properties pane it claims it has 1 page with 0 characters. fot4813409.wps and mot6312910.wps open correctly as plain text but all the bolding, italics, paragraph indents, and other formatting is missing. They look totally different from how they do in Wordview. I wonder if it has changed between v3.3 and v3.4 or maybe it is a Windows issue?
