Hi James,
Yes indeed, all MS Office files are associated to OpenOffice 2.3, see
screenshot in attachment. The pop up I receive after
clicking on a *.doc link in IE is one that asks to open the doc in
OpenOffice.
I looked into the code of the ActiveX, in the so_activex.cpp file. I don't
extactly know if this could be the issue but starting from line 400
(this is the link to the source code
http://www.koders.com/cpp/fidAC2258223FD00A0152B7FF2C280F5996004295B8.aspx)
I see a mime type association to MS Office applications for MS Office file
extensions.
Here the procedure I followed to investigate this obstacle:
- Creation of an HTML file containing 2 links, one to an *.odt file, the
other to a *.doc file
- I associated the doc filetype (and othe MS Office filetypes) to OpenOffice
2.3
- The ActiveX component has been installed together with the installation of
OpenOffice 2.3
- When opening the *.odt file from the HTML in IE, it opens in IE
- When opening the *.doc file from the HMTL page in IE, it provides a popup
to open the document in OpenOffice
Regards,
Philippe
