Have setup a new Ventura M1 Macbook via a Time Machine backup of my old Macbook. All OK, except that all my Word (.docx) files are now .odt.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this has happened and how I can get them all back to .docx?
MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)
As per my post:
"Also, after the Mac was first setup they were all opening in NeoOffice until doing Open With/Change All to Word in Get Info."
Yeah, and this story continues to change… Now they are Word documents, many without displayed extensions, and default openable with NeoOffice.
Did you try rebuilding the icon cache?
Great tip, thanks - but as this thread has revealed, my computer savviness is basic at best. Rebulding the icon cache will have to wait till I'm around someone who's OK to go into Terminal and do it.
You're welcome.
