Thanks for the speedy reply, but that's not quite it. Following the trail you suggest, I get to the action for .doc files is currently:
"Open them with the default application:"
This worked before 2.3, so what I think I need to do is change the "default application" whatever that is and wherever it may be. I don't think it is the KDE default app since the files open automatically from the Desktop.
You'd have to change that action (open it with your brand new oowriter instead of the default application) and point it to where OOwriter now resides, which is probably in a different location from what TB thinks.
I repeat that KDE has nothing to do with it, since TB and KDE are not related. The default application is the TB default appication.

Okay, that worked ... a little. I can explicitly specify /usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3 or /etc/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice or swriter and .doc files will be opened. But, that does not change the TB default app for such files - a new window now opens briefly before the file is opened and the "Action" preference page shows the separate, explicit, nondefault specification of one of the above, soffice, etc. That might be fine, except... I see know way to add "XLS" or any other extensions as a supported file type. The only ones listed are: DOC JPG PDF and ASC. Buttons support: Remove Action, Change Action, but no Add/New Action. They must be coming from somewhere else. -ds -- Dennis E.
