Getting Rid of Word

[catskillbob]

I recently reset my Lenovo laptop to factory settings to resolve some issues, which worked. But documents that I created in Open Office (my preferred word processing app) are now recalled in Microsoft Word by default. I uninstalled the Office App (it no longer shows in my app list), rebooted, but documents continue to come up in Word. How can I make Open Office my “default” word processing program?

Good morning

Go to the bottom of the taskbar where it says Type here to search.

Type Default and select Choose a default app for each type of file. You’ll then scroll down until you find the .doc* files

All you have to do is change them to match the image above

See if this may help as well

Go to the settings screen
Select Apps
on the left side select Default Apps
scroll down the right side and select Default By App
Find the Application and select it
select Manage

Thank you. That worked.
