Hi Jim,
You could try running the setup program again and select 'repair'. If that doesn't work, hold the shift key and right-click on a file with each extension that you want to associate (i.e. a doc, an xls and a ppt). For each one, click 'open with..' and select 'other program'. Browse to the open office installation and select soffice.exe.

Hey all, I'm hoping this is a really basic, easy-to-answer question.

I've just updated my openoffice to the most recent build, and for whatever reason, all my documents are now default associating to notepad. *shivers*. Anyway, I know there's a section on the faq that says how to -disassociate- files from openoffice... How the heck do I -re-associate- them? Keep in mind I'm a bit of a technophobe and not very computer literate, but I'd really like when I double click doc files that they'll jump right to the Openoffice program!

Thanks in advance!
This is my contribution to the file association world.
