I've had no trouble making that work. Typically, I can open any of my .odt/.ods/ ..., files in any
of Microsoft Word, whatever version of OO.o/LO that is installed on the same machine, and WinZip
using the context menu and "Open With ...". That is, the different ways I have opened an .odt in
the past become added to the "Open With ..." menu. I've even had different version of
OpenOffice.org in the context menu, but it is hard to tell them apart so I don't try that any
longer.
I usually have to train "Open With ..." by going to the application the hard way (browse for it in
Program Files) the first time, but it seems to remember after that. Remember not to check "make
this the default" though.
I currently am running in an administrator account on all of the places where I do this. I don't
know if that is a factor in getting "Open With ..." to stick or not.

PS: I put WinZip on the context menu because I do document forensics work in checking
interoperability problems and inspecting for how ODF is handled for particular cases.

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
