FILE
Some years ago after discovering Open Office, I downloaded and *enjoyed*
using this site. I know my files were .odt Although I might not have had
a command of the writer, this was my preferred site. NEVER RETURNED TO
MICROSOFT WORD. Something must have happened, lost the use of Open Office
and my files. Is it possible to retrieve the old files?

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES!!!!! MY GRAND ERROR WAS TO ASSUME THAT OPEN
OFFICE WAS A SITE SO THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION. MAYBE THIS IS THE REASON
I BELIEVED THAT THE DOCUMENTS WERE SAVED IN OPEN OFFICE *BUT I DID NOT
DELETE THEM. *SOMETIME AFTER, I SWITCHED TO GOOGLE, THEN CHROME CAME TO MY
ATTENTION. I CONTINUE TO USE CHROME.

If OpenOffice is lost then if you find .odt files in File Explorer you ought to be able to "Open with" Word.

It is unlikely that you lost OpenOffice or your files, it's more likely that you lost your file associations in Windows.
