Re: Question re/ using Open Office

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work as you described. I have both MS Office and OO installed (for testing), and when I right click on "open with" I get about a dozen options but OO isn't one of them. -Original Message- From: James Knott Sent: Tuesday

RE: Question re/ using Open Office

If OO is not in the list that Open With ... offers, go to the "find more" case and go to where OpenOffice is installed in Program Files or Program Files (x86). The programs will be named with an "s" prefix (e.g., swriter.exe). Once you do that, Windows will remember and include it in the list.

Re: Question re/ using Open Office

Doesn't seem to work. No matter how I try to open an xlsx file (Office 2010) I can't seem to get an OO option. This PS is running Win 8.1. I have both Office 2010 and OO running so that I can test portability. I'm also using File Center for file management. I thought that might be the problem

It would be useful to have a definition/characterization of each of the various styles in the standard install. The names are available, but sometimes they are not very informative. I would like less of the trial and experiment and more of an intelligent choice when it comes to choosing a style

Re: Question re/ using Open Office

That doesn't make sense. If you can open OpenOffice, then you should be able to open MS Office files. Is it in fact installed? Can you actually open the program by clicking on it's icon? When you're trying to solve a problem, keep things simple to eliminate other issues. So: 1) Click on an Op

Re: Question re/ using Open Office

OK. That works. But it's kind of a back-handed approach. What I was trying to do was to double-click on an xlsx document itself, right click on "open with" and have it open with OO. It really SHOULD since I have both MS Office and OO installed. But for some reason, my system doesn't seem to reco

Re: warning - Editor Wars!!!--how about some heresy on behalf of the "Joe 6-Pack" word processor user

Anthony - I'm with you. The whole "styles" approach is ridiculous. I still have a great fondness for Word Perfect. The "Reveal Codes" function gave me total control. Even more so than Micro$loth Word. Sadly, for all practical purposes, Word Perfect is functionally dead. OO is a poor second

"It's only money." You couldn't be more wrong. With OO 4.1.1 there is no money involved. What is involved is how I choose to employ my time. And with me, and apparently a lot of other people, learning the "styles" silliness is not worthwhile. On Thu, Jun 25, 2015 at 8:54 PM, Dale Erwin wrot
