IMO it's actually easier since there are SO many suffixes to change, to go ahead and reinstall OO.o. Faster and more inclusive anyway. That is, if you actually want to change ALL the Word files, or ALL the Excel, or ALL of ALL Of them, period. Or, wait for the next version to come out and do it then when you install that one; looks like it's within the next few months. In my own case, if I'm editting a document, I open it by clicking on the document and if it's a Word doc, I'll use Open With. Or if I'm creating a new document, I just go ahead and start Writer. That's been my norm for some time so I'm used to it and it leaves Word for the few cases where I still need it to do thing OOo doesn't handle nicely yet. For me that's pretty well whittled down to only the Envelopes, which I've created my own templates for, and handling large files with many images in them.
