Select a word file -- go to file --> get info -->click the triangle
by "open with" -- select open office from the "open with" menu --
click "change all" once you have selected open office. Repeat with
Excel and Powerpoint files -- you will be all set to go.
Thanks

hello -
i just installed openoffice, & i want to use it to open things
that are in word.
i tried to open an rtf document, & also an excel document, & with
both of them, the microsoft thing came up which offered to let me
pay for word.
i have a mac with os x, 10.3.9, & i installed everything
successfully, including x11.
It sounds like your file associations are messed up, though I don't
know
how to change them on a Mac. However, you should still be able to
open
them, by opening OpenOffice first and then use the File > Open method.

Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org>
