Greetings and welcome to the community forum!

The File > Save dialog window may be showing files from a different location. You should be able to switch the location to "My Documents" or whatever location you normally save documents to.

Look for a button or icon labeled "My Documents" and see if that helps.

Your format of choice should be the default (OpenOffice .odt). If that is not immediately offered, select it from the File Type dropdown in /File /Save as. Make sure "automatic file name extension" is checked.
