Dear Users:
Can someone please tell me why e-mail attachments downloaded from
gmail to the desktop are automatically opened by open office, even
when that is not the program in which they were constructed? And what
does one do to remove this automatic default behavior?
Many thanks, Roberta Palmour
You need to reset the file associations for the documnt types you do not wish OpenOffice
to open. Normally ths is doe by right clicking on a typical document of a type and
selecting Open With option from the pop-up menu. There is usually a setting towards the
bottom of the dialog wibdow that open to say "always use this application". I
have not access to a Mac, so the real wordings may be slightly different.
1. To reset file associations on a Mac:
2. Right click on a document
3. Click on "Get Info"
4. In window that opens, under "Open with:" choose the program you wish to open
the document with.
5. Click "Change All" underneath "Use this application to open all documents like
this one."
