When I change mine to OpenOffice.org 1.0, it stays that way for that session, but when I close oo, then open a new session, the default is again "Microsoft Word".
My solution is to keep the darn program on it's own desktop for my work, but I've had to work on behavior modification somewhat (no easy task for this hardhead) to either avoid opening oo with a click on a file or change the default after the new session is open.
Like I said earlier, it's not a major issue. Just an annoyance, but the list was quiet and I thought maybe an answer would pop up.
Thanks Robin and Kaj and others for your input.

Hmm.... not much help so far. Only thing I can think of is a permission issue : are you sure that the program can write to its configuration files ? - I remember having this problem in an earlier version of OO - or was it Star Office ?. Try checking the ownership and write-permissions in the OO directory.

I'll go there next, but I thought I tested this by changing other defaults. First I guess I have to find the individual .config file for that parameter. Sounds like more of a pita than the problem.

Hi Lee Sorry to come in late on this one, I hang out on the OOo lists a bit.
You could try installing version 1.1.1, or the current .rc3 of 1.1.2 which are available from the OOo site. You would have to download the tarball, but it is a very easy install. I have 1.1.1 running on a MD 10 setup with no trouble.
Have you tried (I presume the option is available in the MD install) running "repair" from the install directory? That sometimes seems to sort out things like file associations.
