Re: [PLUG] Is MS breaking OOo?

[Gordon Dexter <gordon@texasdex.com>]

Is it just the file associations that are broken?  There might be an Office 2k3 patch that allows it to open docx files, and also associates Office with them without your consent.  You can probably just re-associate them and be on your merry way.

2007 ask to be downgraded to 2000 or 2003.

The solution to people sending us docx and xlsm files is that I associated 
them with OpenOffice 2.4.x which opens them fine.

About a month ago, OOo/Windows stopped knowing what to do with these files.  
The same version of OOo/Linux opens them fine.  Anybody hear of an MS Windows 
Update "patch" that breaks this fo OOo/Windows?
