How to use Express Scribe with Open Office Writer

mumsta

I am a brand new user of Express Scribe. At present, when I click on the MS Word icon, a WordPad document appears. How do I adjust the settings so that I can use Open Office Writer instead of WordPad?

Thanks.

Express Scribe opens the default program based on the file extension of the document you have set in the Others tab of the Settings window. If you specifically want to open Open Office then add an Open Office document and set this as the default document to open.

I made an Open Office document my default setting. However, when the OO document opens, it opens with Word Pad, not Open Office. I have a feeling this has something to do with the default program for opening documents, but I don't know how to alter this.

Thank you for your patience.

I changed the file association, and it is working now. Perhaps this will help someone else.
