Then in the list that opens choose "OpenOffice Writer" (or similar). Before you click OK, tick the box to always have Writer open files of that type. I don't know why the OOo installation doesn't set these. Possibly because OOo2 is still fairly new, and assumes people will be keeping their OOo1 installs just in case. But there's no reason this couldn't be determined at install time, or an option during install. It's the same for Linux. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
