Open Office .org : Defaulting to .doc

Sick of odf (open document format) being the standard format? me too, let's change it

1. Open up your Open Office program of choice
2. Go to Tools
3. Go to Options (you will have to click the little + sign to expand the options there)
4. Click on General
5. At the bottom you'll see something labeled Default File Format (hazaa the holy grail)
6. Make sure that Text Document is selected under the Document type heading
7. Under the Always save as heading scroll up to Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP
   Now let's rock this a bit further and address file format's for Excel and PowerPoint
8. Select Spreadsheet under the Document type heading and scroll to Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP
9. Select Presentation under the Document type heading and scroll to Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP **make sure not to click on the one that ends in template**

woo-hoo it feels good to be feel free from the tirrany of open/free software and back in the safe haven of a money mongering conglomerate! (err... wait)
