SeaMonkey Internet Suite on MandrivaLinux 2009 -
I want to set SeaMonkey to open *.xlsx files with OpenOffice. When I go
into Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper Applications and locate "xlsx
File", it's set to "Always Ask", but I want to change it to use
OpenOffice, but when I try, I must be selecting the wrong file to use as
the Helper Applications screen continues to show "Always ask".
How do I set the correct Helper??
TIA
Click on the xlsx file. When you get 'Open With', select 'Other'. Browse
to your soffice shell (not soffice.bin) and click. Then check the 'Do
this automatically for files...'. Now test again & the file should open
in OOo (read only as it is /tmp). You can set it back to 'Always Ask'
in Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper Applications>Microsoft Excel
Worksheet (application/vnd.openxmlformats...)
I used this file to test:

Yeah, NoOp, Thanks for this.
I've exported your reply as a .doc file so, when needed in the future,
I'll be able to recall how to do this! Problem, now, is remembering
where I saved the file and what I've called it!!
Jamie Cruz, as you're also on Linux, are you reading NoOp's reply??
