Office is taking over

[Nagging]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hello all,

Recently I installed the Office test drive, because I wanted to use the bibliography function of Microsoft Word.

I eventually succeeded in installing office for mac and got to make a proper bibliography. But now I seem to be having a problem. Every iWork Numbers, Pages or Keynote file is being opened in the Microsoft Office programs, and I just don't want that because it takes ages to open a file each time. I'm still using word to keep my bibliography up-to-date so I cannot simply uninstall Office, so what I would like is the option to use Microsoft Office by just clicking the Word icon in the applications folder and not for every file I open!

I'm hoping someone on this message board can help me realize this!

Kind Regards,
David

I found this with a Google search for "mac file associations" (had to
search as i forgot myself how to set it ... once set, out of mind).
