I use OO 4,1,3 on a Macbook Pro whit Siera.
I hate Windows products. But I need it to be compatible whit some people who got .docx files extension. So I install Windows Office for Mac. In the Finder, each Writer files now got the Word icon and open whit Windows Word instead OO. I really want to use OO first. How could I set my Mac or Word to be in second and Writer in first. I could still open Writer files by the menu Open and select files I want. It's longer than a direct access in the Finder.
I use OO since 5 years now and I ask rarely help. I know people who support OO are really great and I want to tanks every one for helping so many people.

I don't believe there's a way to set a primary and secondary application for file types.
A default (aka primary) application can be set. [Tutorial] Setting the default program for MS Office formats
An alternative might be to switch to Libre Office which has been reported as having better compatibility with the .???X MS formats
