OK. I'll tell you it doesn't.
One of the early screens in the installation asks which M$O files you
want OOo to open by default. There are three selections, one each for
M$Word, M$Excel, and M$PowerPoint. Make sure they are all checked.
I stated in my original post that I had done this.
For certain, you can update the file associations
through Windows Explorer. There is a FAQ that addresses going the other
way (remove associations from OOo), but the process is the same to
associate file types with OOo. You just have to select the correct
application(s).
OK, then what are the correct applications? As I stated, pointing to the
OpenOffice exe (soffice.exe) produces errors. I assumed there would be
individual exes for Calc, Writer, etc. but don't see any obvious ones.
Your statement implies there are different apps to point to. What are they?
I know how to set file associations in Windows - this is what I was
trying to do. Perhaps the problem is with one machine/one installation.
But it's very frustrating to check the boxes during setup that are
*supposed* to associate Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to OOo and then
not have that work.
I will try a different machine/installation.
Thanks for trying to help.
