Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't openi odt Files

Hi :)
If swriter or LibreOffice is not in the list then another route is to open LibreOffice from the 
"Start" button - "All Programs" - LibreOffice - Writer

Then drag&drop an odt into the open window or use
File - Open
and then save the file again.  Something in that seemed to remind Xp that i had LibreOffice and it 
started to show up in the "Open With" and "Choose program" places after that.  Usually LibreOffice 
just grabs all the relevant file-associations itself but occasionally it goes wonky.

Regards from
Tom :)

Right-click on an odt file in Windows Explorer, choose "Open With" and navigate to C:\Program 
Files\LibreOffice 3.4\program\ and choose swriter.exe
Make sure the box "Always use this program to open this file type" is checked.
OK out.
See if that helps.
