I've recently gone to Open Office 3.3 and cannot now open any documents from their folders. I get an error message saying they need elevation? If I open up the Open Office program I can then open the documents from the open file dialogue in the program . Any ideas ?

See this query

Following thomasjk's reply and a search enquiry I traced the problem to windows User account control, and by setting it at a lower level cured the problem

I had to turn my user account settings off entirely, but it did resolve the problem. No more elevation required message, the document just opens.

How do you do this?

This may be the UAC. See: Can't open an OpenOffice.org document.
