I am just curious. I had no idea that the Open Office documents were 'zipped' when saved. Does this mean that if I email an Open Office document (as an attachment) it could not be opened by someone running Microsoft Word as that program could not unzip the document?

documents.

Are you attempting to reuse these back on your Windows 10 machine or your iPad?

If you are downloading them from iCloud back to a Windows machine, change the 
name from extension .zip to the correct form for OpenOffice (.odt for Text, 
.ods for Spreadsheet, .odp for Presentation).  And have OpenOffice installed on 
the machine you are doing this on.  (There is no OpenOffice for the iPad but 
other applications might work.)

If you cannot see the .zip extension (or .odt and the others) on the files, there is a 
setting you need to make in Windows 10 to reveal them.  In the File Explorer, on the View 
tab, check the "File name extensions" box in the Show/hide section (or however 
those are identified in your language).
