You could leave OpenOffice installed, byt change the File Association for .odm files. Right click on an overdrive .odm file, select "Open with" from the popup menu and scroll down the list until you see the overdrive application. Select this. At the window bottom should be a link to say "always open with this application" (or words to that effect. Now .odm files will open in Overdrive. If you need to open an OpenOffice .odm file, you can do this the long way by /File /Open and point to the .odm file while in OpenOffice. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie>
