It wasn't OpenOffice.org that you had problems with, it was the system Nautilus uses to tell which files are which types. OpenOffice.org's documents, and Java archive files, and a few other things, are actually zip archive files containing what you're interested in (your document, etc). Nautilus seems to have trouble telling them all apart, and when some installed application stomps the system and says that *it* gets those file types, default applications for anything to do with zip archived files may get changed around. > Than I have to choose "open with" option to open with word processor, > Is there any way I can set word processor as default application > of .odt files ? Pick on an odt file, in Nautilus (the Gnome file browser), open the file properties, and pick your default application, or add what you want if it's not in the list. Of course, now, you *might* be unable to double-click a Java archive, and have it do what you want. Likewise for double-clicking on a ZIP archive file. Nautilus seems a bit flakey at having different defaults for different uses of ZIP archived material. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
