I do not currently use Windows (and have not for years) so only know the traditional way to do this, which is to right click on a file of the type in question, select "Open with" from the popup and choose the appropriate component of OpenOffice. There should also be a setting to tell Windows "Always open with this program", which you should also choose. You should only need to do this once and Windows will then remember your choice. I have a vague recollection that in more modern versions of Windows than I have used there is another way, but do not know the detail of this. If you choose to look in Help files, the keywords are "File Associations" -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
