Hi,
If I have sent this incorrectly I apologise, please point me in the
right direction.
I'm using v2.0.2.
For some reason, any /*new*/ documents I write and databases etc do
not open by default in Open Office. I get the Microsoft "Open With"
popup each time.
The box to check "always use etc" is greyed out so I do not get the
option to use it.
Is this a know issue and how may I put it right please?
Regards
Ron
You don't say which version of Windows you are using but look up "File
Associations" in the Help. It should show you how to associate
OpenOffice with the relevant different file types: .doc, .xls and so on.
The relevant program is "soffice.exe" however, if the "always use"
option is greyed out it sounds to me as if you are logged in as a
non-administrator. To change associations you must be logged in as an
administrator.
Also, as someone else pointed out while I was typing this, make sure the
"automatic filename extension" box is ticked in the File>Save menu.
