In addition to the instructions below, be sure to search for
*.odt, *.ott, *.ods, *.odt *.odp, *.otp, * from C:\ to find all
the possible places where documents might lurk. These are the
most common extensions. There are others for OO that you might
have used. If you have files from others that were created in
other programs be sure to search for those files. Word -
*.doc(x), *.xls(x), etc.
The (*) is important as it is a "wild card" so you can be sure to
find all the possible files. Starting in the root, C:\, is
important so you will search the whole hard disk. If you have
another drive installed, be sure to search that as well.
When you find the files you can select all of them from the
resultant display with CTRL A, then copy them with CTRL C and
paste them into your destination of choice with CTRL V. (CTRL is
the control key in Windows)
Good Luck,
Allen

Thank you for your speedy reply. HP told me that everything will be
removed from my computer & it'll be as if I just purchased it & I'd have to
reinstall any software I had before.
So if I understand you correctly, any documents that I've created in OO
should be stored in the Notebooks HD - And all I have to do is back up
the entire Open Office. Correct? I found it in my computer.
Marie, not certain if you have the information you need.
- "...back up the entire Open Office...I found it on my computer"
I'm not certain from your description what you've found. If you've found
the location the OpenOffice program has been installed that *is not* what
you need to back up!!
The letters, spreadsheets, and presentations (the documents) you created
with the OpenOffice program are what you need to back up.
If you have not changed the default (the preset) location documents are
saved then all your documents will be in your "My Documents" folder.
If you are uncertain the specific location of your documents do the
following...
1. Open one of your documents
2. From the menu select File then Properties
3. On the window that opens look for Location and note the location.
3.1. Location will most likely be in the form C:\Users\Marie\Documents...
Once you've identified the location
1. Click the Windows Start menu
2. Click My Computer
If the location is similar to 3.1 above
3. Click My Documents in the left side of the My Computer window
4. Copy all the files in the My Documents folder to a thumb drive or other
location
If you're uncertain about any of this please seek help. It is not
OpenOffice that needs to be backed up. It is the files that have been
created with it that you need to save.
