I am using Open Office on my MacBook Pro
Over the last couple of days, I have had difficulties opening documents. I save a document and close it down. When I next try to open it, the document won't open. When i click on open with - the first option is Text Edit.
What has happened and how to do I stop it
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
What happens when you go File > Open ...? Does it open?
Try opening this .odt file.
Be sure to read the Mac FAQ.
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.

The chapter headings in the manual are:

3 - Working with Text
4 - Formatting Pages
5 - Printing, Exporting, Faxing and E-Mailing
6 - Introduction to Styles

16 - Customizing Writer – Keyboard shortcuts.
When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.
