I recently installed Open Office on my Mac to test it out. Now when I open
an attachment in Entourage, by default, the document opens in Open Office. I
do not want this to happen. I want the documents to open in the Microsoft
Office document that it opened in before installing Open Office on my
computer. (i.e. Excel, Word, etc.)
Please tell me how to get the default settings back to open an emailed
document back to opening in Excel or Word, as it did prior to installing
Open Office.
Thank you!

Forwarding your question to the users list for OpenOffice.org for people to
assist.

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.
