Hi,
I wish to uninstall Open Office. Also all my MS Office files have
automatically converted to Open Office files and I want them all back to
MS Word files. How do I do that? This is VERY URGENT.
When you installed OpenOffice, a screen asks you whether you wished to
associate MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Powerpoint files with OpenOffice.
Presumably you checked the boxes and the associations were set up as
requested.
No file was "converted" in any way by the install or by this
association. The only way in which an MS Office file can be "converted"
is if someone overwrites it in an MS Office file format from within
OpenOffice, and even in that case it should still openable from within
the appropriate MS Office component.
You uninstall OpenOffice.org the normal way under Windows -- that is
under the Windows Start menu, select "Control Panel", select "Add or
Remove Program", select "OpenOffice org" and mouse-press on the "Remove"
button. This is the standard uninstall for almost all software installed
on a Windows operating system.
When it is uninstalled, the associations with MS Office files will be
reset as before.
You can also change the associations back without uninstalling using the
normal Windows procedure for your version of Windows.
For Windows 2000 and above, single-click on the icon for any such file,
right-click, select "Open with...", select "Choose program...",
checkmark the bottom statement "Always use the selected program to open
this kind of file" and select the proper MS Word component. You can use
this method at any time to change the default double-click association
between a file type and a program using any file and any program.
