Which version of OpenOffice.org are you using? - 2.4
What Operating System (version) are you using? - XP
What is your question or comment?
Today, for no apparent reason and with whichever save process I use, my 2.4 will no longer save in odt format. After saving a new file and looking at the explorer "file" column it states, "file" instead of the usual odt text. When saving the the "save as type" box displays the usual odt statement. When opening the file I am asked which program I want to use to open the file. I have turned my laptop off and on again but it makes no difference. l have no idea what happened. How can I save in odt format again? - Also, the default save format is set to odt.

Don't, that's part of the learning curves (both OOo and forums)!
