Burton, This looks just like an issue I was encountering a short time ago.
I have a Mac Mini. I work on papers, and sometimes the filenames have single quotes (') in their names. While this wasn't a problem with OOo on my PC (WinXP), it appears to be on the Mac. I highly suspect a shell script somewhere which doesn't expect to see single quotes in the name, as it is perhaps using them to wrap around the filename (to preserve spaces in the filename). When it "sees" one *in the filename* it thinks the filename is done, but sees more text after that. Anyway, I tried to locate the script, but couldn't and didn't have enough time. Does this sound like your issue? jeff Burton Meisner wrote: > Many of the documents that I have written as .odt documents will not > open when I double-click them from the documents folder on my Intel > iMac, although I can usually open them by opening Open Office and and > finding them in the recent column.
