I was using MS Office XP, so most of the files are in the old MS
format. That being said, I would like to be able to configure Open
Office to associate with the similar files. Thus we see:
* Writer should be associated with .doc, .rtf and .txt files.
* Calc with .xls files.
* Base should be associated with the .dbf files produced by MS Access.
This method of association will take me straight to the various file
types, as for instance I have:
* .doc, .rtf and .txt files are all to be found in the Word folder.
* .xls files can all be found in the Excel folder.
* .dbf files are to be found in the Access folder.
At this time, I have no presentation files but am interested in the
actual Impress, and any files I produce under this will go to the
Impress folder, likewise, any files produced under the Math facility
will have their own folder called Math when I produce any.
I do hope that you can help, for the time being I will keep on using the
Open Office on the present settings - for some reason what ever type of
programme you open - Calc, Writer or Base, when you come to open a file,
you see the LAST file you were working on. For instance, I was working
on a .doc file, shortly afterwards I needed to open a Calc file, the
.doc file was waiting to be opened, and not the Excel file! I grant
that it's only the work of a minute or two, but often the name of the
file is not known - sometimes that particular file has not been used for
some time so grouping the file types together makes sense, since it does
make finding files easier.
