Try going File > Open ..., and navigating to the file. Does it now open?
If so, you have lost the association between AOO and text files. See the Tutorial on how to fix it. or search the Writer forum with
association.
If this does not work, give
step-by-step details of what steps you are taking (eg something like AOO is closed. I double click on fred.xyz and ...) and
what then happens.
As a new poster you will find much useful information in the
Writer FAQ, the
Writer Tutorials, the up to date
Writer guide and the
Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.
