I don't even have Microsoft Office so I cannot make it my default for  
opening documents.  What your system is asking is whether you want the file  
associations, like .doc, .xls, etc. to open by default with Microsoft  Office.  
That 
is up to you.  If you make these file associations open  in Microsoft Office 
by default, you will have to explicitly open them in  OpenOffice.  Perhaps that 
is want you want or not.  For a beginning  user, it is probably better to 
open in Microsoft Office by default.  But as  I said at the start, I don't have 
Microsoft Office and am happy at having saved  the money.
