Find the file in Finder, press command-I to open the info page, and VO-right till you hear the "open with" piece. There will be an application mentioned--MS-Word or whatever your current default is--and if you VO-space on it you'll be in a menu of applications. Pages should be on the list, so pick it, and VO-space again. Then VO-right over to the "change all" item and VO-space on it. You'll be asked to confirm what you requested, and once you confirm, all .doc files will open with Pages. Hope I've explained myself clearly enough.

When I try to open it, the inaccessible MS word always appears and I can't open it with pages. What can I do to open automatically all the .doc files using pages and not ms word? Cheers.
