Hi Richard, I looked at that file but it scared me off. I have never seen a less friendly config file. Luckily using your tip I found someone http://davidmburke.com/2011/04/16/linux-in-schools/ had written a little sed stanza to make the fix
sudo sed -i 's/<prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter"><value>writer8<\/value>/<prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter"><value>MS Word 97<\/value>/g' /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/registry/writer.xcd Seems to be working properly.
