| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Can I change file association? I saved a file with a .odt file extension and when I send as an attachment nobody can open it. Is it possible for me to change the extension to .doc so everyone can open it? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for help. |

If so, just right-click the file and > choose to rename it. No. odt is "Open Document Format" - used by Open Office and many other open source applications. -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s) |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Can I change file association? No, it is a .odt file as indicated above. I use Firefox, Windows Live Mail, and Vista Premium. I have tried using many programs to open it and now I can't open it myself. What program or programs should open an .odt file? |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Can I change file association? Thanks everybody for the info. I guess that I can only send an .odt file to someone that has Open Office.org, because they would be the only ones that could open it. I will try to send as a .doc file as almost everybody can open that type of file. I learn little by little.... |
