If you paid for OpenOffice, you didn't get it from openoffice.org, where it's a free download. As to your files, MS Office 2007 defaults to saving in their proprietary OOXML format, which nothing else can work with. Since your copy expired, you'll have to get someone else, with a a paid version of Office 2007 to convert those file to .doc format. While you're at it, be sure to thank MS for locking your files into their proprietary formats, instead of allowing use of the ISO standard formats. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
