63916 2002-07-20 23:24:00 I installed openoffice to see what it did .

Actually what it did iwas to hang up my computer so that the only way I could shut down was to switch off .

After this happened a few times I removed the program through the remove program facility and now have no trouble but the word icon has been substituted by the openoffice icon and I can no longer open a document direct as there is no open office there

I can of course open the document by opening word via MsWorks but I would like to get my icons back so I can directly access a document within a folder.

Can anyone assist pleas ?

63917 2002-07-20 23:45:00 OpenOffice has taken over the 'filename association' for the files that were origionally associated with Word. (The filename extension e.g. .doc, is used to associate files with a given program). See FAQ 13 (pressf1.co.nz) on how to restore the associations. wuppo (41)
