[Solved] My Writer files have been converted to Word

Post by patthepiper »

My odt documents have been trouble free in the past, but recently for some unknown reason they appear on the Desktop with the Word icon and open as Word (Unlicensed Product) documents and cannot be edited. At the left-hand bottom of the screen appears the note "Accessibility: Investigate"

In the folder the Name shows a Word icon and the Type as OpenDocument Text

How can I restore them to the original .odt OO Writer format?

I'm running Windows 11, and I have been unable to delete the pop-up which offers a free trial of Win365

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
