Doug, the formats of the actual files would not have been changed by the
installation. Most likel;y, what has happened is that the file
association with Writer got lost. If you right click on one of the files
and choose Open With, then browse to your OOo Writer program
(swriter.exe), select it, and choose the option to always use this
program for these files, you should be back in business.
