I opened a Word document and saw that the default was the OpenOffice word processor instead of MS-Word. So I uninstalled OpenOffice using the Control Panel thinking that I would see if I could just install Draw. Then I noticed that all the .docx icons had changed (but not the .doc icons - see attached .gif). I started to panic when I tried to open a .docx and I got a popup asking for my registration key. Naturally, I can't find my registration disks. Curiously, there is no problem with the other MS-Office documents (.xlsx, .accdb). Also I discovered a workaround: if I click on the MS-Word icon I can then open a docx from inside MS-Word. Are you aware of this issue and is there any way around it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
