Hi Martin... My problem is that these .sxw files are
identified as zip archives. When I right-click on the
icon to edit file type, the file is identified as a
zip file (with prefix '.zip', even though the file
itself is prefixed '.sxw').

'Embedded App' is not selected.

I even tried modifying file treatment so that the
default application for opening zip files would be
OpenOffice Writer 1.1, but a left-click on the .sxw
icon still only breaks down the file into its xml
components. Only by manually opening the file does it
display properly in OpenOffice.

My question is... How do I restore KDE settings to see
.sxw as OpenOffice files?

Thanks... Daniel
