There is also a FAQ on the OO website explaining how to do this because
so many people
accidently change the association when they really only wanted to try
the product out and
not make it their primary office tool.
http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s04.html#FILE-ASSOCIATIONS
When you get your laptop, one of the pages during installation asks if
you want OO to be
the default program for .doc type files. Don't skip over this page so
quickly next time :-) .
Check or uncheck as you desire.

I downloaded Open Office in order to open an email attachment from a friend.
Using it caused problems with my roommate's ancient Windows 98-running box
So I deleted it. Now double-clicking any word doc results in a search for
OO, saying it's needed to open word docs. I can, of course, open these docs
from within Word, but my roommate would be happier if he could associate
those files with Word.
I'll be buying a laptop as an xmas gift for myself and had considered OO,
but not at this rate!
Help!
