Some time ago I downloaded and began using OpenOffice.org 1.0.2. More
recently, I downloaded v1.1.4. Yesterday, when cleaning up some unwanted
programs, I decided to uninstall v.1.0.2, since I have been using v1.1.4 for
some time and successfully creating new documents and modifying existing
documents. Now that I have uninstalled v1.0.2, I can no longer directly access
any of my existing files that were saved in MS Word format (which is most of
them), whether originally built using v1.0.2 or v1.1.4. All Word documents now
show up as WordPad documents, but WordPad doesn't open them, showing an error
message that it (WordPad) cannot open a Word for Windows 6.0 file. The files
can be opened from v1.1.4 once the OpenOffice.org text document program has
been initialized (i.e. via >file>open). How can I restore the documents as
listed in the "My Documents" files back to their original format so as to allow
direct access again?
