Hi Stan, if you are using OS 10.3, all you have to do is before opening the document, command click it, then go to open with: select the program that you want to open that kind of document and that will be the default for other docs.

Default word processor?
On my Pismo I have both Appleworks 6 and Office v.X Problem: I usually use Appleworks for the documents I create. (Old habits die hard...) When I click on a file (which sports an AppleWorks icon) it opens up in Word. The only way I am able to work around it is to open the document up in Appleworks, but hey, I just want to click and go. Is there any way I can get Word to stop trying to be my default? TIA, Stan = -- I am the wretch that song talks about... __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Default word processor?
Absolutely Method #1 what you want to do is control click a Appleworks file then choose Open with and then just choose Appleworks. Method #2 Put a Applework icon in your Dock and next time you want to open a file created with Appleworks just drop it over the Dock icon. Method #3 Single click the icon of any Appleworks document (to highlight) press the command key (apple key) and the letter I key (I as in information) a window inspector will appear, chose open with, then chose Appleworks and than click on change all.

Is there any way I can get Word to stop trying to be my default? In the Finder, click the file once. Select Get Info from the File menu. In the window that opens, click the Open with tab. In the popup menu, select AppleWorks. If AppleWorks doesn't appear, select Other... from the same popup and navigate until you find the AppleWorks application. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] finger-pointing syndrome n.: All-too-frequent result of bugs, esp. in new or experimental configurations.
