This a file association problem. Your installation folder had a
file called setup_guide.pdf. Do a search for it. If you can find it,
read page 27 in the paragraph with an explanation point (!) to the left
of it. It will explainthe principles on how to do this. Just remember
to use soffice.exe instead of the suggested MS programs.
Please send all replies and any additional questions only to this
