Help needed(FIXED thanks)

I had no problem with windows 98. But Vista insists on putting .txt on the end automatically when I rename. I will look harder for Show file extensions. this is frustrating.

Open Office allows me to save w/o file extensions, but then Dominions cannot read the file. Formatting issue I assume.

When you do "Save As" in Open Office, click on "File Typ2", and select "Text file" or some such, with the default extension of "txt". Then turn off automatic file extensions, and save it as "whatever.dm". This will make Open Office save it in plain text rather than whatever format it normally uses, so Dominions will be able to read it.

You'd probably have an easier time using notepad to be honest (if notepad still exists in Vista).

Turns out the problem was with Open Office. Even cutting and pasting from OO to notepad cause Dominions to misread the text.
Simple fix: rewrite the whole mod from scratch on notepad.

Weird. Well done on getting it to work.

Microsoft still relies on the archaic 3 letter extensions from over a quarter century ago (MS-DOS) in Vista!? I am amazed.

Oh yes.

You know, I am not a fan of MS (I use open source every chance i get). But Vista is not as bad people have been saying. I have yet to run into any problem i could not fix in less than 5 mins (caused by Vista that is).
