OO opening incorrectly to PC documents ???
OO opening incorrectly to PC documents ???
Suddenly, when I click on 'open' to access my documents, the page that opens is PC - documents. I looked online and tried various suggestions (mostly involving Default Programmes) but nothing has worked to restore access. Am a newbie in need of help! Should I just uninstall OO and reinstall, or will that make all my documents vanish?

Re: OO opening incorrectly to PC documents ???
Do you know where you where saving the document? If it was on your desktop, there should be a side bar on the left of the window that opens when you click Open and that side bar should have a link to the desktop.
You can also search for a document. If you are on Windows 10, just type the document name in the box that says "Type here to search".

The document(s) have all been saved on OO. Previously I would click on 'open' and the list came up. Now the page goes to PC - documents. The side bar lists all the other possibilities but the document(s) shouldn't be anywhere but in OO.

The question was: Where you savd then to? Which directory of your HDD was the documents saved to?The document(s) have all been saved on OO.
What fileformat are you using for your documents? Do you use the "automatic file name extension" option of the Save dialog?

Re: OO opening incorrectly to PC documents ???
Documents are saved in a folder in the file system. Did you select a folder named OO when you saved your files? The Save As dialog generally opens in the last folder used, If you want a document to be saved in a particular folder, you have to navigate to that folder on the Save As dialog before clicking the Save button.Rowan6 wrote:The document(s) have all been saved on OO.

When you click "Open", the Open dialog opens in the last folder used. If the file you want to open is in a different folder, you have to navigate to that folder on the Open dialog before you can select the file to be opened.
If you have an OO folder, you can probably add it to the sidebar. Use Google to find instructions.

They are saved (Save As) in ODFText Document (.odt) I have managed to find the documents in a file in 'Documents' and copied them to a external hard drive. But I still cannot open them from OO ???
