------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 28 04:28:04 +0000 2008 ------- Giving users the option to change the MS file associations to point to Open Office is a must. I certainly know how to recreate a few associations, but for many of the clients and friends I work with who could gain from switching to Open Office, a smooth transition is of paramount importance. I don't believe it needs to be in the setup wizard, but after the install, there should be some option to change the associations quickly and easily. As an example, I have one friend who has been using MS Office for years. A recent malware problem caused her installed copy of MS Office to be corrupted including the registered file extensions (and of course she does not have the original install CD's). After getting her computer cleaned, I suggested Open Office. After the install, her first comment was, "Why can't I double-click on my files to open them anymore?" :) She was seriously considering running out to buy a new copy of MS Office right then. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if we want people to switch, we have to make things as simple and clear as possible, even the "small stuff" that may not seem all that important. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
