Thanks, Tom Chilton,
It is true that I am receiving attachments from a friend using Word Perfect
Professional (but the files do not show a Word Perfect extension). In
OpenOffice I have been able to open the files beautifully, until yesterday.
Yesterday he sent a file and I went through the process to open it in
OpenOffice; but when I clicked on it to open it in OpenOffice Writer, it
would not open, quit responding. Every time I tried, a new icon appeared in
my system tray area. At one time I had 5 OpenOffice icons in that bottom
right area of the windows task manager bar. I finally shut OpenOffice down.
This morning I had a similar problem but was successful in opening documents
I had already saved. I saved them in MS Word XP.doc. But I still can't open
the attachment I received yesterday from my friend. By the way, when he
discovered that I was opening his Word Perfect documents in OpenOffice
without a hitch (that day) he went to OpenOffice.org and downloaded
OpenOffice yesterday and says it is working fine. I don't want him to have
the same problem I am having after he keys in new files in OpenOffice. If
you are someone can help I would appreciate it. I am essentially following
the procedure you suggested, Tom.
Thanks for any effort you make to help,
JT
