Thanks Daryl, I did that.I tried what you said. It did not work. I selected openoffice writer as preferred program. But gnome gave error message Couldn't display "......test.odt". Now it seems that gnome fails to recognize odt,xls,html etc files. But right click open with still works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
