Thanks for refreshing my memory. Either it's just Monday or my

How are you getting Word to run on a Linux version? Regardless,
it should not be that hard. Right click a .doc file, and select Open
With. Select Word from the list of programs or enter its path at the
top. Click to box labeled Remember application association for this
type file. Click OK. This is how to do it for KDE, but I can not be
certain it will work for you since you have Word running within
another program.

Dan,
I'm using an app called Cross Over Office to enable MS Office to run on
KDE. Works fine, but doesn't seem to want to let me change the
associated app as you suggested. Although the system says it's updating
preferences, the next .doc I try to open reverts to OO. I do love OO,
but I need to open some Word docs as .doc's because of graphics and
formatting.
Don't know if there's another way...
David
