I downloaded and installed the latest version of OpenOffice, primarily to
use Draw. I opened a Word document and saw that the default was the
OpenOffice word processor instead of MS-Word. So I uninstalled OpenOffice
using the Control Panel thinking that I would see if I could just install
Draw. Then I noticed that all the .docx icons had changed (but not the
.doc icons - see attached .gif). I started to panic when I tried to open a
.docx and I got a popup asking for my registration key. Naturally, I can't
find my registration disks. Curiously, there is no problem with the other
MS-Office documents (.xlsx, .accdb). Also I discovered a workaround: if I
click on the MS-Word icon I can then open a docx from inside MS-Word. Are
you aware of this issue and is there any way around it?
