It sounds like your file associations have been changed, such that .doc and .xls (etc.) files are associated with OpenOffice.org. There was a question during installation that asked you whether you wanted to do that, which you may have inadvertently indicated you wanted. You didn't say what operating system you're on, but if it's Windows (which is the only one I'm familiar with), you should be able to get them back to the way they were before by doing the following: Find a Word file (a .doc file). Right click on it Choose "Open with", then "Choose program" Select Microsoft Word, and check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" Click "OK" (If you have Excel or Powerpoint files, you'd need to do the same thing with a file of each of those types also.)

Dear OpenOffice, I recently took a look at OpenOffice and then decided to uninstall. Despite this, it has taken over my Word documents and prevented me from converting documents to pdfs. I received pdf converter with my purchase of OmniPage and it seems it no longer recognizes "Word" files, which are in fact now in My Computer as OO files. In any case I wish to remove whatever is on my system that takes docs over as OO docs. Word files created before I downloaded OO are taken over as OO docs and new ones are taken over. Please advise asap how to remove whatever remains on my system (XP pro, and Office software). Thank you. Stan Fineman
