As I mentioned in > another note, changing file attributes in Windows is easy. Lots of applications manage their own file formats. This is nothing new, nor is it rocket science. No, it isn't. First, changing them that way does NOT work for templates. Second, average users *will* flock things up half the time when making changes that way. The bottom line is, as long as OOo goes out of its way (remember the devs *removed* the ability to manage these associations from the installer GUI, so now that is only available as a command-line install option) to make this *difficult* for end users (just look at all of the complaints and problems associated with this issue), it will continue to be considered a 2nd class citizen as compared to MSO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
