If I click on a document through a website that should open in Word, it won't open in Open Office Writer. I get a message asking what program I want to use with no option to use OO.

In some cases it asks me to save, if I do it then saves it in OO writer and I can view it, but if there is no option to save, I can't view the document.

Does anyone have any idea how I can make it default for everything, so I can open Word links etc from webpages?

I'm not the most computer literate person around so very simple language please or I will be confused

Thanks

Right-click on any *.doc file in Windows Explorer, and select Open With. Choose program, and if swriter is not on that list, click on Browse and find swriter.exe in:

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\program\swriter.exe
