How to open docs
I have several documents created 10 years ago etc. with Open Office. Now i’m using Open Office 4.1.7 and can’t open these documents (example below). Any suggestions?

The special Star Office Format has been removed. sxw document filter
does still exist in 4.1.7

Tony is not subscribed to this mailing list, so I have sent him a Cc so
he can see what Julian wrote.
Is it possible that these documents are .sxw files? Or was the :w"
replaced with another letter? If so, the format for these documents
predate the open document format such as .odt, .odc, odb, etc. I do not
know if the latest versions of Open Office will read the .sxw or similar
files. Perhaps someone else knows.
This mailing list strips all attachments, so no one saw your example.
Also, when you answer my questions, make sure that you sent it to
users@openoffice.apache.org and NOT to me personally.

The best result is that it will open; if it cusses at you and claims that it is an unknown format, someone else here may be able to help better than I.

there was no 'below' and you don’t tell us what OS you are using, but it is likely that you have lost your file associations. Try opening OO and then selecting one of the documents to open. The best result is that it will open; if it cusses at you and claims that it is an unknown format, someone else here may be able to help better than I. I can’t find anything that old on this computer to test.
