Re: [libreoffice-users] Windows "Open with"

Hi :)
Un-installing OpenOffice often cures weird and unlikely problems especially in 
Windows.  


There is still often a clash between OpenOffice and LibreOffice when both are 
installed on a system.  There are some clever ways to install both but i don't 
have a note of any of the various instructions and have not compared their 
reliability or effectiveness.  


Often the main problems occur when the Quick Launcher/Starter is enabled within 
OpenOffice.  Even without that they both use the same names on the command-line, 
such as "soffice --writer" so the scope for errors and confusions is quite 
high.  


Usually just using the "Open with .." and then browsing to the relevant program 
is enough to push that program to the short-list in the "Open with .." option.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Windows "Open with"

To open a selected Document with LibreOffice does anyone know how to make 
LibraOffice appear in the Windows "Open With" (and stay there).

Even when I use the "browse" within the "open with" , then locate LibreOffice 
manually, it  still does not work, as when I click on LibreOffice or Writer 
(applications), its ignored and the system jumps back to the browsing list.

Also Libra Office does not appear in the recommended programs list, whilst 
OpenOffice does and works fine.


Windows XP pro sp3
Libre Office 3.3 & 3.4
