Windows 10 default Apps
Greetings to Whoever,
I have used Open Office for a few years now and find it excellent.
Previous the default program to open documents on my computer has been Open Office.
Windows 10 has changed the default program to Microsoft Word and I can’t change it back to Open Office no matter how hard I try.
Can you please advise how I can change it back?
Regards, Bert Carter

Probably because that wouldn't help him! Removing the current default
product cannot reset the associations to OpenOffice, which is what he
asked about.

Bert -
A. Why not just remove Micro$loth Word?
B. Also remove Open Office and use instead the fully functional Libre
Office?
While Douglas Hamilton will come all unglued that some one dares speak
truth to power,, the reality is that OO is a dying application.

It has nothing to do with the email or browser your always able to open
each file with whatever program you prefer
just select Open with... from the pull down menu in Windows Explorer.
If you want your selection as default select Always use this app to
open .??? files

I suspect that if you use a non-Microsoft email and browser, you will be
able to open documents received in your choice of application.
Also, you might delete MSWord if you never use it, but first make sure
that OO will open all files that Word will.
