When I ran Office 2003 and Openoffice.org on a Vista machine I has the setting, that is listed above, set for OOo to load all the Word, Excel, etc. files directly to OOo instead of MS's suite even though I had it installed. Checking the settings in the Load/Save section does a lot more than the default file format. It made sure that the file associations went to OOo instead of MS Office so I would not have to deal with MSO unless I had to, which was rare. With my Linux systems, I have no MSO and the system defaults OOo for all MSO product files. 99% of the time OOo does all my .doc file needs. I use OOo to create the .doc file that I create for my Word only clients. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
