changing default application

[reagancurt]

Hi all,
I have a newPowerBook G4 that came loaded with the Office 2004 Test
Drive, but I have a fully licensed Office X version running on it that
I like just fine. The default for opening Office documents was somehow
set to the 2004 version and I can't seem to get it set to the 10.0
version... anyone know how?

First, uninstall the Office 2004 Test Drive. Open the Microsoft Office 2004
folder, and then run the Remove Office tool.

If documents still don't seem to open in the right version of Office, select
a Word document, and go to File > Get Info. Under "Open With", choose
Microsoft Word X, and click "Change All". Repeat for Excel spreadsheets &
PowerPoint presentations if necessary.

Thanks for the help... it didn't seem to work at first, but then I
actually emptied the trash and after that I was all set. Thanks again
