Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Word "broken" after LibreOffice install?

Hi :)

When you re-install LibreOffice notice on about the last screen there are 
tick-boxes to set LibreOffice as your default Office Suite.  You probably want 
to UNtick them so that MS Office continues to be used most of the time.  You 
will have to right-click on the website files and then choose LibreOffice or 
"Writer" to open them in LibreOffice.  


Alternatively, if you have already installed LibreOffice then you might try 
right-click on a Word document and choose to have it opened by MS Word by 
default.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I actually decided to restart the computer right before I got your response,
and that seems to have fixed the problem - MS Office works just fine now. 
The restart probably "auto-cleared" a cache somewhere.  Crisis averted!  

Now that I know that the problem is "fixable," I may try re-installing
LibreOffice to see if it will coexist peacefully with Word after a
post-install restart.  I will update to let y'all know if it works.

For the sake of "full-disclosure," this occurred with Windows 7 (64-bit) and
Microsoft Office 2007.  

Thank you for the quick reply!
