This can be done in your Windows Explorer.  Find there a .doc-file and \
shift-rightclick on it.  Now there is an option "Open with ...".  Click on that and \
scroll to your Office program (probably winword or so)

Ever tried to open an OpenOffice.org file in MS Word ?  You should type your \
documents directly into OpenOffice.org.  Of course, if you have 1000's of files in \
MSWord format, you could open them, but you can't expect it to be totally the same...
