1. Thank you very, very much for your answer.

2. The link that you gave me, http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s04.html#FILE-ASSOCIATIONS , solves my problem:

=====
On Windows
I've installed OpenOffice but it's taken over my files ?
When you install OpenOffice, it asks you whether you want to associate MS Office files with OpenOffice. In order to not associate these MS Office file types, you must uncheck the appropriate boxes before continuing.

Many people do not read this dialog properly, and simply click on "OK".

Once this association has been made, though, there are several ways to re-association the files with MSOffice. Go into your file types setting(it should be under either "Tools" or "Folder Options") from one of the windows in "My Computer". Then delete the association for .doc, .xls, and any other file types that you do not want associated with OpenOffice.

When you next click on a file of that type (such as .doc or .xls), it will ask you what you want to use to open it. Click on word, excel, or whatever you want to use. You will also be given the option to select always use this application to open the file type.

How come when I double click on a file it now opens in OpenOffice instead of my old word processor ?
Please see the answer of the previous question.

3. I use Windows XP Professional (Media Center Edition).

4. Thanks a lot.

What Paul meant is described in some detail here:

In case you have further questions you might want to tell us the Windows
version you use (is it XP or some other?)

Reset windows so that .doc extensions are opened by the MS word
executable instead of OOo.... Normally this question is asked when you
install OOo, but it can easily be rectified...

How Not to Have a Microsoft Word Attachment Opened in OpenOffice.Org 1.1.5?


When I opened a Microsoft Word document attached to an email message I received, the document was opened in OpenOffice.org 1.1.5. [I have both 1.1.5 qne 2.0.2.]


How can I have the Word document opened in Word, not in OpenOffice.org 1.1.5?
