I am sure when I installed openoffice.org, I had to actually tell the installer to associate openoffice.org with MS office, files, i.e by default this association is turned off,

Have just download Open Office to trial.  It appears that Open Office

double click an excel or word file to open, they now open in Open

time as I decide to switch to Open Office.


Thanks

Search for this file: setup_guide.pdf in the OpenOffice.org installation directory. (OOo_1.1.4_WindowsIntel_install or an approximation of this) Using Acrobat Reader to open setup_guide.pdf. On page 27, there is an explanation on file associations. It will tell you how to replace MS Office as your default program to open MS Office files.
