Hello,

 

I have installed OpenOffice together with Microsoft Office 2019 both with
newest versions. I’m working with Windows 10 Home 64-Bit newest Version.

If I use Windows menus in order to call a new Word document, I cannot find
an entry for Microsoft Word:

 

Desktop:  



 

Explorer:

  

 

 

I show, what will happen, when I select in the menu Microsoft Excel-… for an
example. And I want to have exact this with Word:  a new Microsoft Word
entry in the folder.

But I cannot do this because there is no Word selection. 



 

I searched in OpenOffice FAQs, but didn’t find something.

 

I searched in internet and finally found something: OpenOffice installation
changes a registry entry reserved for .docx (“OpenOffice.docx”):



 

Normally (if no OpenOffice installed) this entry contains “Word.Document.12”
as I can see in my notebook with Windows 10 Home 64-Bit and Microsoft Office
2010).     



 

Changing “OpenOffice.docx” to “Word.Documenr.12” solved the problem!

 



 

 

 

 

Because I do not want to change this registry entry always after installing
a new version of OpenOffice, please 

eliminate this bug in OpenOffice!!!

 

Best regards
