When I save a file in Writer -- as an .odt or anything on the "save as" list -- it saves as a generic "file".

When I click on the file, Windows Vista presents me with a dialogue box asking me which program I want to open the file with. Works fine when I select the OpenOffice icon.

How do I get Writer to save as an .odt file? Can't figure it out.

Hope this hasn't been asked too many times, but did not find it doing searches.

thanks

Solved it. did a better job of searching -- and checked the "automatic file name extension".
