HI,
You can select a specific application to open a document. Do this if you prefer using a certain application or if you don’t have the application that was used to create the document.
To change the application that opens a document:
Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
Click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
Choose an application from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different application.
If you want to use that application to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same application, click Change All.
If you want to open a document in a different application without changing the application that normally opens it, Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the application you want to use. You can also drag the document to the application’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.
