Hi, When you get to the file, press VO-Shift-M to open the context menu. Arrow down to ""Open with…". Right arrow to open the submenu you see there. You will se that there are other programs listed besides OpenOffice which will be the default. In the meantime, ignore all the programs listed there, even TextEdit.* Get to "Others…" and press Enter. You will see that you are presented with a list of programs. Choose TextEdit from the list. Tab to the "Always Open with" checkbox and check it on. Then press OKAY. >From now on, it will be the default app to open the file type.
*Note that if you are tempted to choose TextEdit from the "Open with" submenu, you will only open the file type for that time only but OpenOffice will still be the default.
