You're not getting what we're saying. MSO can still
save however it
wants to. OO.o only takes over the file
associations. What this means
it that when you double click a file, it opens in
OO.o rather than in
MSO like it used to.
If you use MS Office and made the choice NOT to allow
MS to open its own files in its own format, how do you
open (when in MS Office) an MS Office file in its own
format and not the OOo format?
Hi Joe,
File associations are what tells Windows which program to open a file in, when a file is double-clicked (or clicked, depending on your settings). They don't affect which programs are ALLOWED to open a file. So if the file associations are standard, this means that if you open up Windows Explorer and double-click on Myfabdocument.doc, it'll open in Microsoft Word. If, when you install OpenOffice.org, the file associations are changed, this means that if you open up Windows Explorer and double-click on Myfabdocument.doc, it'll open in OpenOffice.org Writer.
BUT regardless of file associations, if you open up Microsoft Word and tell it to open Myfabdocument.doc, it'll open in Microsoft Word. And if you right-click on the file in Windows Explorer and select Open With, you'll see a list of programs that are listed as capable of opening that file format.
Hope this helps.
