This problem is not in OOo but in Windows - in Windows, each file extension is 
associated with a program that will open that type of file, even though it 
may not be the only program that will handle that type.
The quick action (not really a fix) is to right click on the directory entry 
and choose "open with..", then pick what you want.  This process overrides 
the normal file/program associations.  I think there is a checkbox in the 
selection panel to make whichever program you choose there the default.
