When OO was installed, you likely said to make OO the default application for MS Office documents. What you can do, is right click on the file and choose "Open With" > "Choose Program". Select the appropriate MS Office application and also make sure "Always use the selected..." is selected. This will reset the file associations to MS Office. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
