All that changed is the file associations, that is which app is the default for a file type. They will still work fine in Word. With the normal install, OpenOffice becomes the default app for the various file types is handles. The same thing would happen if you had installed Word, after previously using OpenOffice. You can either change the file assignment back to Word or right click on the file and select Word. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
