W7 Does not have the file types tab that XP had. However, you can download
the File Types Manager
(http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html) and use it to
create a second open option from the default. Say you want LO to be the
default, then you might add an "Open in OO" option. I used this for my
text files dilemma where I wanted Notepad for quick and dirty editing or
viewing and my text editor for when I want to edit polished files.
If you are familiar with editing file types in XP, it is fairly similar in
File Types Manager. Mostly it is that the interface is different.
Otherwise you would have to edit the registry directly.

I previously installed OpenOffice on my computer and recently
LibreOffice. I have also installed the various free Microsoft viewers.
One thing I've noticed is that I can't have both LO and OO associated
with the various file types. Please note that I'm just talking about
association, not default association, so that when I right click on a
file I can chose from among LO, OO or the Microsoft viewer. At the
moment, my choices are just LO and the viewer. If I want to use
OpenOffice, I have to open the app first and then the file.
Any way around this?
