unable to open a specific document
Sirs,
I have a 1.2 MB document I’ve filed in Documents as I’ve opened it to add to it and closed it. The last time I opened it, February of this year, it wouldn’t open. Somehow, I got it to open in Pages. I did my work on the document and closed it. At that time I checked to see that it was stored back into Documents. I cannot open it now. When I click on it and then click on the “Open” box, the screen reverts to the opening screen for Apache Open Office (offers choices of Text Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Open, Drawing, Database, Formula, Templates). Other documents filed in Documents are opening ok.
Help, please?

Do I need to close Open Office and open Pages on my Mac, find the document in Pages and open it, close it in Word format and then return to Open Office and open the document in its new Word format? If so, you have any idea how I find Pages on my Mac?

Hi,
When you worked on the document in Pages, it was saved as a pages document.
To use it with OpenOffice, open it again with Pages and export it to Word format.
You should now be able to open the document with OpenOffice by right clicking the file and using "Open with... OpenOffice".
Regards,
Craig
