Have you tried right-clicking on the file? When you do that, does a menu pop up which includes 'Open with'? If you click on that you should be able to select OpenOffice as the application to open your file with. You should also be able to check a box so that OpenOffice is used by default to open your file in the future. - Robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
