Hi there
I am loving using the openoffice as my word processing programme but how do
I change it so that when I try to open Word documents it does it through
Openoffice NOT Microsoft word? Each time I want to open a doc I have to go
through the processes of cancelling the Microsoft Word programme setup. It
is infuriating. I have tried deleting MS but its asking me for a disk which
I don't have.
Help!

Hi, Jo. This is the "file association" problem, and if what I tell you
here isn't enough, you can look for your operating system's help about
that. Generally speaking, though, you right-click on a file and choose
the Open With option. Browse from the Program Files folder, to the OOo
one, to its program folder, and choose the component that handles that
filetype (like swriter.exe for .doc files). If you have selected the
option to always use this program, you only need to do this once for
each of the MS Office filetypes.
