lol "control panel" "installation program" I would wager that you two are not exactly linux experts. If it is the file manager then the wrong values have been recorded in the mime database, and what caused this depends on various factors, which OOo did he install first, which one (if not both) were provided by his distro etc?
For the OP, in order to change the file associations through the nautilus (GNOME), one has to change the default program in the "Open with" tab of the properties dialog of any of the relevent files. If in KDE, then it's one of the applets in the K Control Centre. (and possibly one of the tools in the file manager as well, not sure) -- Chris Monahan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
