Spreadsheets

[ro...@talktalk.net]

Good Afternoon

Please accept my apologies if I have sent this to the wrong department but I have tried all the information pages to see if they could help
before contacting anyone and I am struggling to find an answer to my problem,

I have subscribed to Open Office for a long time and have never had any problems - up to two weeks ago I had a Dell PC with Vista on and
Open Office worked fine on that

I had some emails with Spreadsheets attached and they opened fine on Windows 8 but now if I try that all I get is the file option asking me
to choose a program from the list to save it in - and Open Office is not one of them

Why are the Spreadsheets not saving - I put in save to ODF but to no effect, I just do not know how to correct this

I would appreciate any help with this

Many thanks & Kind Regards

Rose Galloway

You need to set up OpenOffice as a default application for ODS, XLS, XLSX.
OpenOffice does this for you by default when you install it on your
computer under this dialog:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Getting_Started/File_associations

If you miss that chanced and AOO is already on your box, making the
association manually should be done from the windows side. Here is a
process on how Windows 8 do file association:
