Can OpenOffice.org be ran on the same machine as Microsoft Office XP?
Yes, you can have both OpenOffice and Microsoft Office installed on the
same computer. One thing to watch for, is during the install, you'll be
asked if you wish to make OpenOffice the default application for
Microsoft Office files. This is your choice and you can change it
later. You might also want to install the Sun ODF plugin, which will
enable Microsoft Office to work with the ISO standard ODF files, that
OpenOffice creates by default. If you do that, I'd recommend installing
it first, and then OpenOffice. However, as always, OpenOffice can work
with Microsoft Office files, other than the new Office 2007 formats
(.DOCX etc.).
If you later wish to change the default application for opening the
various file types, follow these directions:
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:
