Greg,

best start a new email thread. Otherwise your request will get lost.

Can't help you here. Must look for it first.

Great that you gave 2.0RC1 another try.

     I decided this morning to uninstall 1.9.125 and
reinstalled 2.0rc1.  I slowly and carefully
reinstalled it.  It works as good as 1.9.125 (so far).
 But I still found some issues, i.e. envelopes using
the Thunderbird address book, the help file states
that there is a preview on the envelope dialog box,
but there is no preview database.

Hi Greg,

if you look for "file associations" in the OOo
Writer Help you find the instructions.

I didn't get OO 2.0rc on CD. I downloaded it.  I
just looked at tthe
SETUP_GUIDE_draft.pdf for OO 2.0 online and page
27 does not say
anything about file associations.  Page 27 states,
"Run OpenOffice.org
to insure that the installation was successful."
Would I be better off to uninstall it then
reinstall it?

When I installed previous versions of
OpenOffice, i.e.
1.9.125 and before that, every Microsoft Office
type
file displayed in Windows Explorer, i.e. .doc,
.xls,
.ppt would have a corresponding OpenOffice icon
displayed to the left of the file, much like my
Word
Perfect documents (.wpd) display a Word Perfect
icon
to the left of the file, or any .mp3, .wav file
displays a Windows Media player icon to the left
of
the file.  When I'd click on that file, the
corresponding application would open it.

Since I installed OpenOffice 2.0rc, the
Microsoft
Office files no longer display the Corresponding
icon.
When I click the file, I am asked which
application I
want to open it.

How do I get that Microsoft default back?

Greg
    It is all about file associations. Follow the
directions on page
27 in the setup guide that came with OOo.
