[QUOTE="xdunlapx, post: 1570045, member: 261057"] 1. My .doc files saved from LibreOffice also show as a "blank" white icon. 2. .doc saved in LibreOffice to .odt show as a blue enhanced icon, too. 3. You can choose Save As to tell LibreOffice where to save that specific file. It seems you are just choosing Save and it auto-saves into Text Docs instead of Documents/Spreadsheets or Documents/Other 4. Of course ODT won't open in MS Word.
