Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem changing from OpenOffice mac to LibreOffice

Hi :)
I thought you have to uninstall programs, like you do in Gnu&Linux or Windows, rather than just 
delete them?

Anyway, Larry's answer should sort out the problem as stated and it's probably not worth worrying 
about uninstalling NeoOffice now - it's just something to find out about next time there is a 
program you want to get rid of.  

Regards from
Tom :)

You need to reset your file association.
Right click on a .odt document.
Click on "Get Info".
In the window that opens go to "Open with:" and select "LibreOffice.app".
Below "Use this application to open all documents like this one" click on "Change All".
