Description okok 2004-02-03 19:16:38 UTC 
It is currently possible to choose OpenOffice as the default application for
specific file types (at least under windows) only in the installation program.
This is very bad, especially on a system that with Office 2000, which, once ran,
takes over these file types anew.

It therefore must be possible to make OO the defaut application for file types
in can handle from within the application. Currently, it is necessary to run the
installation program to fix such changes.

of @ bh: AFAIK we will move these settings to the Tools Option of the office.
