Hi Stan,
Nothing has been taken over on your computer. When you installed open
office you checked all the boxes on a dialogue that asked if you wanted
open office to be the default program for loading Microsoft office
files. For some reason, the uninstall process did not restore these
settings. Check to make sure that Open Office is really removed by
running 'Add / remove programs' in control panel. If it is gone, you'll
find instructions on restoring the default program settings somewhere on
the openoffice.org site. I've spent ten minutes looking for it, so I
don't know if you'll be able to find it. Maybe someone else on the list
can send you the link.

I don't get it.
If you uninstalled OO,
how could it now be "taking over" your documents?
Uninstall again and make sure the task gets done.

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
