Nope. That's not how it works. Sorry for the delay in responding, but your system does not work the same as mine (WinXPPro SP3). I went back and repeated my initial. Here are screenshots of those: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5827/screenshotwithoooonly.png Only OOo 3.2.1 installed. Now I install LibO - and in this case I installed LibORC2 just to be sure that the test is current. And this is the result: http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4994/screenshotwithliborc2.png http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9178/screenshotwithliborc22.png Notice that all references to OOo are now missing. So now I do the open with & browse to OOo swriter.exe and use that - guess what happens... the .doc file opens in LibO. As a test I rename the swriter.exe in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program to ooowriter.exe and guess what happens when I use the choose program on the next go around? Yep, the .doc now opens with OOo. And guess what now shows up in the 'open with' dialog window... OOo: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4567/screenshotoootoooowrite.png I'm happy to swap stories/tests, but IMO the problem still exists, _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
