I would say that's you problem...when I download the files they arrive 
as .sxw files, which is OpenOffice's format.

If yours are downloading in some other format, that's why OO is asking 
for a filter, 'coz it doesn't recognise what you have!

When you download, make sure the "save as type" drop down box says "all 
files"...then you should get sxw's that'll open in OO no problem.
