Hi there

I am loving using the openoffice as my word processing programme but how do
I change it so that when I try to open Word documents it does it through
Openoffice NOT Microsoft word?  Each time I want to open a doc I have to go
through the processes of cancelling the Microsoft Word programme setup.  It
is infuriating.  I have tried deleting MS but its asking me for a disk which
I don't have.

You want to change the file associations. You can do that by following these directions:

Changing file associations

Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
