Look in ~/.local/share/applications. I've had good luck configuring default file handling applications by adding/modifying files in this directory. You'll also want to make sure that your ~/.mime.types or the global /etc/mime.types file contains a proper entry associating the filename extension with a MIME type of application/msword. -- Lindsay Haisley | "In an open world, | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | who needs Windows | available at 512-259-1190 | or Gates" | http://pubkeys.fmp.com http://www.fmp.com | | -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
