-=PCTechTalk=- Re: how do I make Open Office my default program

sorry for the delay but haven't had a chance to read my mail - I followed 
your directions on a word document I had and checked always use open office 
to open this file - problem is with the .rtf file I get nothing when I right 
click so was hoping there was someplace I could say  ALL files should be 
opened with open office or maybe the problem is that open office doesn't 
open .rtf files - I looked on their site but couldn't find anything but then 
I might be blind :-)  Dolores
