Thanks Peter.
This did not directly apply to my situation, but pointed me in the right
direction and I have now solved my problem - thank you.
The trouble with associating *.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxd, etc, files with OOo
was that none of these extensions were listed under Tools>Folder
Options> File types, so One could not globally associate one of these
extensions with the OOo software. However, I added these extensions to
the list using the "New" button and then associated them with OOo and it
seems to have made the change globally.
Once again, many thanks, James
PS - any ideas on how the OOo files became disassociated with the OOo
program? Could it be because I installed M$ anti-spyware software?
Nothing much else has changed on my computer, recently.
Possibly. I am very slowly becoming convinced that MS knows when you
have free programs on your computer and secretly does things to mess
them up.
OOC: Why are you using MS spyware when Ad-Adaware is so free and so not MS?
Glad I could help.
