OpenOffice normally does that, unless you tell it otherwise during install. However, it's easy to change the file associations, so that you can use your choice of application to open a file. Here's the directions: 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: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
