On recommendation, I've just moved to OpenOffice 4.1.6 from Kingsoft WPS. How can I open all my documents and spreadsheets with OpenOffice as the default? When I click on an existing document and right-click to 'Open with', it still shows 'WPS Writer' as a program option but not OpenOffice. Thanks
Newbie!

Hi, for Windows 10 the procedure should be that way:
- When I click on an existing document and right-click to 'Open with', it still shows 'WPS Writer' as a program option
- then try option of other app an find OpenOffice or at least the soffice.exe in your programm folder, which is similar to that...
c:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.exe

See
