• Use File > Wizards for some types of documents.

Opening an existing document

When no document is open, the Welcome screen provides an icon for

opening an existing document.

You can also open an existing document in one of the following ways. If

a document is already open in OOo, the second document opens in a

new window.

• Click File > Open.

• Click the Open button on the main toolbar.

• Press

Control+O

on the keyboard.

In each case, the Open dialog appears. Select the file you want, and

then click Open.

In the Open dialog, you can reduce the list of files by selecting the type

of file you are looking for. For example, if you choose Text documents

as the file type, you will only see documents Writer can open (including

.odt, .doc, .txt); if you choose Spreadsheets, you will see .ods, .xsl, and

other files that Calc opens.

You can also open an existing document that is in an OpenDocument

format by double-clicking on the file’s icon on the desktop or in a file

manager such as Windows Explorer.

If you have associated Microsoft Office file formats with OOo, you can

also open these files by double-clicking on them.

Note

Under Microsoft Windows you can use either the OOo Open and

Save As dialogs or the ones provided by Microsoft Windows.

See “Using the Open and Save As dialogs” on page 27.

Saving documents

To save a new document:

1) Choose File > Save.

2) When the Save As dialog appears, enter the file name and verify

the file type (if applicable).

To save an open document with the current file name, choose File >

Save. This will overwrite the last saved state of the file.
