Dave,
Go to Explorer (or My Computer -- NOT IE), Go to Tools | Folder Options |
File Types. Slide down to DOC. Highlight it (click) and click on Change. Set
the opening process to OpenOffice.org x.x Writer (swriter).
If, subsequently, IE tries to open a .doc file directly in IE (rather than
in Writer in a separate tab or window, then unregister the plugin by Running
(from the Start menu) this:
regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org
3\Basis\program\so_activex.dll"
Change your install path/version accordingly.

There have been a few computers where I have installed OpenOffice (OO) and
the stadard MS Office file types were NOT associated to OO (DOC, XLS,
etc).
How can you force MS Office file type association such that the data files
will be associated to OO ?
