Greeting!
First let me say I'm very impress with the program. I downloaded it a few
weeks ago, and am amazed at it's functionality.
I do have one question:
I've used Office for years, and often click on the file (say an Excel file)
before I open the program, the system recognized it must use Excel to run the
file I clicked, it loads Excel, then loads the file I clicked.
I have noticed that this does not happen in Open Office. Can I somehow assign
a way to have this happen, or is that not available through Open Office.
I would appreciate help!
Thanks.

It sounds as if you're referring to the "file associations" that tell
the operating system what program to use. You can generally right-click
on a file and browse to the program you want to have open it, and if you
select the "always use this program" option you just need to do this
once for each type of file. For any of the types that OpenOffice.org can
read, you can find the specific program (swriter.exe for word processing
types like .doc or .odt, for example) or just soffice.exe for any of them.
