Hi,
I have just downloaded and started to use open office writer. I think I may have declined this option that I am writing about in the initial set up, as I was just 'trying it out'. However, I want to know how I can use writer predominantly? i.e. if I go to open a document from an attachment from an e-mail it takes me directly to open office writer as opposed to word? How do I go about sorting this?
What you want to do, is change the file associations, so that Windows
starts OpenOffice for those files. It's easy to do that, by following
these directions for each file type (.DOC, .XLS, etc) that you wish to
open with OpenOffice.
Changing file associations
Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and
choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
