Saving a file dilemma

[overwhelmed]

Never had this problem before. When saving a Open Office Spreadsheet, it is now being saved as a pdf file and I'm unable to open said file, even though I'm saving it as odt, it just says "file." as the saved file

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Make sure that the option "Automatic file extension" at the bottom of the Save as dialog is checked.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the edit button if your issue has been fixed.

If you are saving a Calc (spreadsheet) file, you should save it as an ODF spreadsheet .ods.

Sorry it took so long to find my way back. And, thanks for the comments. I think the problem is solved {I'm also working from two different laptops} but perhaps I've lost my important document.

Unless there is a way to Recover it?

Can not figure out how that "Automatic File Extension" got unchecked.

Many thanks
