The ending .sxw is there all the time. The only difference are the
scandic letters. When I remove the scandics from the file name, the file
opens and behaves normally. When I put some scandic letters back, the
file icon turns into a zip icon and clicking the file opens File Roller.
Even then the ending .sxw is there. If I now open the file properties
Window, the icon changes back to a sxw icon. The document won't open
though, but instead I get the error message above (as in the quote from
my previous message). I can remove the scandic letters from the file
name again and I'm back to normal - except that I'm not able to use
scandic letters, which is not very convinient in Finnish.

I think that OOo files are saved in zip format, but I can't figure out
what that might have to do with scandic letters in the file name. Well,
apparently something :-)
