Hi,
I'm getting a strange error when I open an .odt file:
"Read-Error. This is not a WinWord97 File"
This document was created using openoffice 2.0 beta.
Any help would be appreciated,
Regards,
Krish
Have you downloaded and installed the non-Beta?
If so, when you try to open a file are you double clicking on the
file, or are you going to OOo and using file -> open?
There could be something fouled up with the association settings, or
that the file -> open is set to "Word 97".

Ive tried opening it externally and opening it through openoffice(non
beta release). Unfortunately both have come up with the same error.
Ive also tried importing it, changing the extension to .doc, opening it
in Microsoft Word Viewer.
Regards,
Krish.
Changing the file extension does not alter the file contents. If it
still has the (renamed) .doc extension, the filters are trying to open
it as a Word97 file and not finding correctly formatted data for a W97
document. Renaming it to <filename>.odt should get you back on track.
