KOffice problems


Hello,

I just installed Debian 4.0 Etch (KDE) which has OpenOffice.org as standard equipment. I also wanted to try KOffice and I installed that myself.

Much to my dismay, KOffice became the default for all office applications instead of OOo. Since KOffice is not good with Microsoft formats, I wanted OOo to be my default. I could not find where to change the default settings so I un-installed KOffice.

Still to my dismay, KWord is still the default app for my .doc files and not OOo Writer even though it is gone.

What can I do to make OOo my default. I would still like to have KOffice, but not as my default app.


Thank you for your support!

Uninstall both?

Would it correct the dependencies if you uninstalled both and reinstalled koffice first. reverse happened here when i put open office in Slackware, openoffice was set to default (koffice is standard in slackware).

KOffice Problems

I was thinking about doing that.

In the meantime, I have found where the file associations live and corrected the defaults. Even with that done, the default icon for a .doc file is still KWord and not OOo Writer. Very odd.

Thank you for your support!
