Can't open ODT files: Contact the administrator

[JoanMWalker]

I cannot open ODT files that I have created and get the message to contact administrator. I believe I am the administrator as I am the only person that uses this desk top! How do I solve this please?

Firstly, welcome to the forum. :0)

I think the best answer you could get would be to forget about OpenOffice and install LibreOffice instead. There are several good reasons for this, some of which are given here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information

You might find that installing and using LibreOffice will solve the problem all by itself.

Probably your anti-virus or firewall needs to be told to allow access to OpenOffice.
