Sara, the finder also has an 'open with' option. Simply ctrl click the file and you'll see it in the context menu.
To assign a default program to a file, do a command-I on it and you'll see a few options for doing this. Sorry I can't go into more detail at the moment. Am on my way out.
Best of luck and perhaps others here will chime in as well. Have an awesome evening!… Smiles, Cara :) On Oct 2, 2008, at 10:06 PM, Sara wrote:
Yep but you have to find it first. smileOne other thing I find difficult to do with the mac is say I highlight a file like a txt file. Say txt is tied to text-edit. Well let's say I want to open this txt file in nisus writer. How do I do that quickly from the finder without going to nisus writer, choosing open and trying to plough my way through the open dialogue? I am thinking of something like the open with option in windows explorer but as I understand, the mac might not do things the same way. I am not complaining about that, the only thing I care about is getting files open quickly in the app I want.One more question, how do I change default file associations?
