I think the message "When you install Open Office, it asks you
whether you want to associate MS Office files with Open Office. In
order to not associate these MS Office file types, you must uncheck
the appropriate boxes before continuing." could be worded better for
the general public to avoid mis-understandings.
It would be much better to state that if you associate MS Office files
with Open Office, that Open office will become the Default Program and
that it will convert MS Office files to Open Office files.
That's misleading too. How about, "When you install Open Office, you
will be asked whether you want to associate MS Office files with Open
Office. All files of the file types ticked on this screen will then by
default be opened by OpenOffice, rather than MS Office. If you do not
wish this to happen, untick all checkboxes before continuing." ?
Eurgh. Wordy. :-)
