Hello; go to one of these files and press command i that will bring up the info on it. tab or arrow right until you get to the fields that talk about open with. you can then use the select bar to tell your mac to open all files with that extension with the ap text edit. You may have to choose other and then arrow down until you get to text edit. i'm sure someone else can explain it more clearly, but i wanted you to know it could be done. take care, max

Hello,

I have a bunch of known plain text files which have nonstandard txt or rtf extensions. Short of renaming them all, is there some way I can have the system open them in Text Edit?

1, Is there a way to open this file just once in text edit?

2, Is there a way to indicate that this type of file will always open in text edit?

3, Would there be a way of terminating the opening of type x in text edit?

Thanks,
John S
