I was running OO 2.0 (the default version) on my SUSE 10.0 system. In
tracking down a problem with Master Documents, I upgraded to 2.3. Works
nicely, but now when I click on an attachment in the Thunderbird mail
program (say, .doc or .xls) the default is to Save, and selecting "Open
with" produces the error:
"filename.xls could not be opened, because the associated helper
application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
I can't find a place to change it, and besides .doc and .xls files (and
I assume .ppt) automatically open just fine from the desktop. Just not
from within Thunderbird.
Curiously, I seem to recall both .doc files and .xls files opening
correctly before the upgrade, but only .doc files are mentioned in the
Download Actions preference dialog. Fiddling there seems like a kludge,
anyway, since it was working before without that.
Any suggestions as to how to address the above?
TIA, ds
OO is now separated into various modules which you install depending on
whether you need a particular application -- eg, if you want to use the
Writer then you install this module, or if you want to use the Database
then install the database module. Also, you need to install the modules
which handle the icons, the themes, and so on.
Cheers.
