[tlug] SevenFilesFromOneOpnOf?

["Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon" <ronfaxon@example.com>]

I've popped in and out of here - always commenting that I'm gradually 
migrating over to Linux, but this time I really am putting more weight 
on the foot standing on the Linux ship (hoping the two ships don't 
suddenly lurch and dump into the deep and unfriendly ocean).

I use Open Office for writing and I am able to open files in one of two 
ways - either by opening a blank page and opening the file from within 
OpenOffice, or by dragging the file I want to open over to an OpenOffice 
Icon sitting on the desktop.  But, if I just double-click on one of the 
files I've made with OpenOffice Writer, it opens a new folder with seven 
(seven!) separate files!  What's that about and can I make the files 
openable just by clicking on them?  I'm using Suse 9.0.
