Sorry, Stella, and others, I didn't read the subject line properly. Stella, the reason OpenOffice is grabbing your files is that .odm is the file type for an OpenOffice master document, and since you installed OpenOffice after OverDrive, OpenOffice has changed the setting for .odm files from Overdrive to OOo. I suggest that, since it's not too likely that you will be using a master document as one of the first things you do with OpenOffice, you reinstall Overdrive so that it re-registers itself for .odm files. Master documents are used if, for example, you have a document, say a book, comprising many chapters. You can create a master document which links to the individual chapters so that you don't have to edit the whole document every time, but can edit individual chapters. As I say, it's not everyone who needs this functionality, and someone may be able to suggest a way to use another file type for them when you do need them. //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
