We recently installed OpenOffice for our remote users that do not have
Excel loaded. It is wonderful, however, I need to change the settings
that OpenOffice will only open excel documents and not Microsoft Word
or WordPerfect documents. How do I do this?
This sort of thing is handled by the Windows file associations. You'll
have to change the file associations, so that the desired application is
the default, by following the instructions below. Double clicking on
the file will then cause it to open in the preferred application. You
will still be able to use the other application(s) to open a file, by
right clicking on it to select the desired application.
Changing file associations
Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and
choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
