Open OpenOffice.org (OOo). Use Control+N to open an untitled text
document. Type some characters. Click the Save icon or use File >
Save to open the Save window. At the bottom of this window is a box
with the label "Automatic file name extension." It is probably not
checked (ticked) on the problem computer. If it is not, click in the
box to place an "x" (tick) in it. That should solve this problem.
If that box has not been checked (ticked), any files that have
been created do not have an file name extension. Without an
extension, it is impossible to associate the file with the program
that should open it.
