I have Libreoffice as well as OpenOffice installed.
.doc files are opening in Libreoffice instead of Opening
as swriter.exe is in both the offices, and Libreoffice was installed before OpenOffice, probably from the registry's swriter.exe, it is going to LibreO instead of OpenO.
How can I open files in either by selecting from context menu - open with?
Thanks.

Re: .doc files opening in Libreoffice instead of OO
It is unbelievable for me. Both the installers of the AOO and LO can assign the installed office suite to the ODF and/or MS documents - if you choose that option during the custom type installation.and Libreoffice was installed before OpenOffice
Launch the AOO installer again, choose a Custom installation, and adjust the settings for the default assigned editors.
Or you can change the assigned editor in the Operating System. Just browse the relevant "Writer.exe" file during the manual assign procedure.

Here are some pictures about the phase of the installation, when you can choose adjust the assigned MS file extensions:
The picture of the OpenOffice installer is quite old, because I am using portable version of the AOO now. (WinPenPack version: not needed "install" it.)
You can assign the Visio files too in LibreOffice (to the LO Draw application):
