Let me get this correct. . . You are exploring the document folders, with Windows built-in file/folder manager - i.e. Windows Explorer? "IE is Internet Explorer." Then you try to open the LO Writer/Calc document from there instead of finding the file withing LibreOffice's "File/Open" menu? With Win7 you click onto the file or right click to get the menu and choose "open"? Plus, similar with Linux systems. Since you are trying this with a Win8.1 system, this does not work? That part of the question points to a file association issue - Win8 does not know that the LO documents should open LO when clicked. I do not know if this will fix this in Win 8.1, except maybe you should try and see if right clicking on the file and choosing an "open with" option and choosing which application is associated with the file type. I hope Win8.1 did not get rid of that option. I would use that that for XP, Win7, and Linux. I do not have an Win8.x system, just Win7 [Home and Pro] and Linux [Ubuntu and Linux Mint] systems to work with. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
