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?
