Undoing Open Office being the default program for text and other files

After problems with Power Point crashing down, I downloaded Open Office to save some files on my mac. thanks to Open Office I managed to save the content, but now Open Office seems to become default program to open word, ppt etc. files on my mac. How can I undo this?

Change it from the Open With section of a document's Get Info window, and then use the Change All function.

  • Office 365 installed, can't choose Word 2007 as the default program for docx and doc files

    I have a client who just installed Office 365 on his Windows 7 PC. He still has Office 2007 installed. He's struggling with the changes in Word 2013 and wants me to uninstall Office 365. I thought I'd just set the default program association for .docx and
    .doc programs to Word 2007 but that doesn't seem possible. I can choose Default Programs, Associate a file type etc., and find the .docx extension. The current default is Word (desktop). I highlight the .docx extension and choose Change Program. The older
    version of Word isn't listed so I click Browse and find Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe. Click OK, OK, OK, etc, but .docx files still open in Word 2013. The Default Program applet evidently sees all versions of Word as the same and refuses
    to change the association. How do I accomplish this ridiculously simple task?

    Fixed. Used a great little app from NirSoft called
    FileTypesMan. The built-in Windows utilities are getting worse by leaps and bounds.

  • How do I make Pages the default program for .doc files?

    How do I make Pages the default program for .doc files without having the need to change the default program for each individual.doc file?

    Navigate to a .doc file.
    Ctrl click the file
    Choose Open with and then go down the list, past pages, to other
    Navigate to pages
    Before you click Open make sure you click the 'Always open with' check box.
    You should be okay.
    You can do a similar think by selecting the file, Choosing File-Get Info
    Then open the Open With Disclosure triangle.
    select pages and then click CHANGE ALL
    Hope this hleps.

  • Please Help! How do i make MS OFFICE the default programs for opening files

    Hey,
    Someone please tell me how to make MS OFFICE the default for opening up excel, word and pp files....Ever since i migrated all my stuff to my new 24in everything opens up in iwork instead of office, which is really annoying.
    Thanks in advance,
    JW

    Hi skymedic: Quite easy to set the default program actually. Find a file you need to open, single click. then Right Click and select "Get Info". When this window opens, select the program to be used then click "Change All'. Please note you will need to do this for all file types you want to open with Office. EG: .DOC .PPS .PPT .XLS etc..
    Good Luck

  • How do you globally change the default program for opening photo files?

    I want to adjust my system so that when I double click a photo file, Preview does not automatically launch.  I work in Photoshop all the time and would prefer that it be the default program for pictures.  I have already changed the "when you insert a picture CD" command in CD's & DVD's in System preferences but this does not have any effect on when I double click on a picture file to open it; Preview always launches and opens the picture there.  That automatic opening behavior is fine but I need it to happen in Photoshop.

    Assuming your pictures are all .jpg files: select any .jpg by clicking once on it in the Finder, then press Command+I to Get Info about it. In the Open With: section of the Get Info window, change the preferred application from Preview to Photoshop, then click the Change All button.
    Now any .jpg file that you double-click will open in Photoshop.

  • Setting Photoshop CC as the default program for all images?

    Where do I find Preferences dialog?

    There are two levels: The OS (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer) and Bridge.
    In the case of jpegs on my Mac, I open them in Preview at the OS level.
    If I want them to open in Photoshop, I open Bridge CC, and then double-click on the thumbnails there, which opens them in Photoshop.
    Photoshop is usually the default editor for Bridge.

  • What is the default program to run windows batch files?

    I am working on windows 7 and I found that "notepad" was set as the default program for opening my .bat files. when I try to execute the batch file by double clicking, it is opened by notepad.
    I have tried setting cmd.exe as the default program, it just opens the command prompt.
    What is the default program I should set for executing .bat files?
    I hav also tried using assoc .bat = batfile. The batch file runs fine from command prompt.

    This is not a scripting question.  It is a break/fix issue.  Contact you support person or Admin for assistance fixing this.

  • How can I remove viruses off my computer? I have mac OS X, but I clicked on a website on google and it didn't open. Instead the security program popped up and said that my computer is at risk of a crash and has detected several viruses!?!?! AAAAHHH!?!?!

    It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
    1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
    2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
    3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
    4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
    5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
    6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
    7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

    for PO -goto ME9F
    enter doc number, Issue Output to -> screen/printer

    step 1 : copy the z layout into testing client thru SCC1.
    step2 : go to se71 and check modified layout.

    u will see various applictions for each business process.

  • What is the default OS for iBook and iBook G4?

    What is the default OS for iBook and iBook G4?

    You can check the specs of ALL iBook models (G3 + G4) at everymac.com
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    If your iBook has a processor less than 867MHz it won't be able to run
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, though methods exist to allow it unofficially.
    Old first model colors iBook G3 (not white dualUSB) have other limits.

    Hopefully you can match your questions with the various databases online.
