Tony is not subscribed to this mailing list, so I have sent him a Cc so
he can see what Julian wrote.
Is it possible that these documents are .sxw files? Or was the :w"
replaced with another letter? If so, the format for these documents
predate the open document format such as .odt, .odc, odb, etc. I do not
know if the latest versions of Open Office will read the .sxw or similar
files. Perhaps someone else knows.
This mailing list strips all attachments, so no one saw your example.
Also, when you answer my questions, make sure that you sent it to
users@openoffice.apache.org and NOT to me personally.

suggestions?
there was no 'below' and you don’t tell us what OS you are using, but it is
likely that you have lost your file associations. Try opening OO and then
selecting one of the documents to open. The best result is that it will open;
if it cusses at you and claims that it is an unknown format, someone else here
may be able to help better than I. I can’t find anything that old on this
computer to test.
