Hi :) If swriter or LibreOffice is not in the list then another route is to open LibreOffice from the "Start" button - "All Programs" - LibreOffice - Writer
Then drag&drop an odt into the open window or use File - Open and then save the file again. Something in that seemed to remind Xp that i had LibreOffice and it started to show up in the "Open With" and "Choose program" places after that. Usually LibreOffice just grabs all the relevant file-associations itself but occasionally it goes wonky.

Right-click on an odt file in Windows Explorer, choose "Open With" and navigate to C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3.4\program\ and choose swriter.exe Make sure the box "Always use this program to open this file type" is checked. OK out. See if that helps. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
