Larry -
While the advice you gave was helpful, I had figured that much out...
That advice was from James Wilde. I forwarded it to you since you are
not subscribe to the mailing list.
the problem is that the OO is still setting as default document
launcher. There is no "Change All" choice. There is a "Always Open
With"
I think you did not exactly follow the instructions. I'll try to list
them concisely. You will have to do this for every Microsoft file type
you do not want to open in OOo. I will describe for Word .doc
In Finder locate a .doc file.
Right click on the .doc file
Click "Get Info"
A long narrow window will open
Part way down the window is "▾ Open with:" (make sure the triangle is
pointing down"
Below that is a drop down menu. Select MS Word
Below that is "Use this application to open all documents like this one."
Click the "Change All..." button.
This is basically the same instructions that James gave. You missed
the ' Click "Get Info" ' step.
but as far as I can tell, that will only open that specific document
- does that mean that I have to go through each document and "Open
With" - that is truly a waste of my time! If I wasn't writing
full-time it would not be such an issue, but knowing that I will have
to carry out at least 6 extra keystrokes to open a file, rather than
clicking on the document and having it appear as it was writte n in
the form that it was saved - rather presumptuous of OO, don't you think?
Don't go on a rant against OOo when you did not follow the
instructions given. It also makes people less inclined to provide
support to you. I wouldn't use MS office if it was given to me.

To Larry: If she is not subscribed to the list, then how come her email
shows , anyway? This is not meant as sarcasm, but I am confused as to
when someone is or is not subscribed, especially if their message shows
on the list?:-\
