[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

Hi :)
Good news :)  The reinstall route does sound like it's going to be a Pita and stuff-up everything 
but in Windows it does have that neat bypass into Repair or Modify mode.  Gnu&Linux doesn't.  

It is odd that she chose the slightly more geeky route but that opens up opportunities for her in 
the future.  Nicely done and top marks to her!  
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)
