I was running OO 2.0 (the default version) on my SUSE 10.0 system. In tracking down a problem with Master Documents, I upgraded to 2.3. Works nicely, but now when I click on an attachment in the Thunderbird mail program (say, .doc or .xls) the default is to Save, and selecting "Open with" produces the error:
"filename.xls could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
I can't find a place to change it, and besides .doc and .xls files (and I assume .ppt) automatically open just fine from the desktop. Just not from within Thunderbird.
Curiously, I seem to recall both .doc files and .xls files opening correctly before the upgrade, but only .doc files are mentioned in the Download Actions preference dialog. Fiddling there seems like a kludge, anyway, since it was working before without that.
Any suggestions as to how to address the above?
TIA, ds
OO is now separated into various modules which you install depending on whether you need a particular application -- eg, if you want to use the Writer then you install this module, or if you want to use the Database then install the database module. Also, you need to install the modules which handle the icons, the themes, and so on.
