In KDE the user can right-click a file, choose Open With then select an application. There is a checkbox for "remember this application for this filetype". Does your system not have that? What OS / desktop do you use? If it's Windows, then I think you have to hold Shift while right-clicking to get the Open With menu item. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
