But why? this makes no sense.  Why does the application run in a
different mode, according to file filename?  Isn't there a workaround or
something for this?

I believe this bug was not present in OO; at least not the last version
I used.  Any ideas on when this will be fixed?

Oh, and I mentioned copy, because I've a bunch of files stored on an
external read-only backup drive, so this means I'll have to copy them
over and rename then for now every time I want to open them.

Thanks for your time :),
