I evidently didn't say it correctly at all.  The issue is that I have
a document, say somedocument.doc (in Word 97/XP format, not docx) on
my Desktop. I click the document and ... OpenOffice.org opens with a
new document, but does not load the document I double clicked.  I can
then go to File-Open and open it, but ... shouldn't the default be to
load and open the document automatically when you click on it?

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
