Right click the document of your choice and select ''Open With Other Application...''. A list appears with your installed applications; select the one you want. If your program of choice is not listed, you can select ''Use a custom command'' and enter the path to (or browse to) the executable of your program. Don't forget to check the ''Remember this applications for "<file type>" files'' if you want to make it the default.</div>Chris
