I just installed Open Office 4.1.1 and went through the conversion wizard, thinking I was converting my Word documents to OpenOffice documents. What happened is that OpenOffice has now duplicated all my Word docs (13,000) and placed the copies in the same folder, so I have 2 versions of each file, both with the same content, sitting next to each other. After looking into this, maybe what I should have done was set up OpenOffice differently, but the problem now is that I have 13,000 duplicated files that I don't need or want. Is there a way I can delete or remove all these new Open Office files that were created by the wizard. I have the log files that recorded the changes. Since I didn't have any Open Office files on my computer when I started, I could delete all of them (by referencing the extension??) and start over, if I knew how to do that. Removing 13,000 files manually is not something I'm looking forward to. Any help would be appreciated. Tom
