There are two settings, one as you describe for which is the default app to open MS Office documents. The other is the default format for OO to save files. If most of your files are to be exchanged with MS Office users, you may want to set that too. This setting can be found under Tools>Options>Load/Save>General. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
