How do i make Libre Office my default

to open docs on my mac. i have the operating system OS X Mavericks??
please help! thanx a million!

Though I’m using PC Windows 7 instead of a mac I have the same problem. When I try to switch from Open Office to Libre Office as my default for opening .odt and .ods files and browse to select libre office as my default instead of open office, Windows ignores my selection and won’t add it to the list from which to choose. I don’t know what to do. Please help.

  • Open LibO
  • open preferences in LibreOffice menu
  • click Lad/Save
  • click Microsoft Office
  • select all boxes under (L) and (S)
  • click OK
    finished

I am not an OS X user, but searching the web: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-open-files-in-with-specific-applications-in.html


If this does not helps… This is more of a question for OS X Mavericks forum like: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mavericks?view=discussions

You know this is general OS X question: How to open a specific file type (in your case DOCS) by specific application (in your case LibreOffice). You have to instruct OS X to choose LibreOffice for some specific file types… so much more OS X question then LibreOffice question.

It’s StackExchange, so both 1st and 2nd google results lead to its pages by now :slight_smile: Would be more useful to provide full answer rather than asking a person to google.
