Default htm editor and Advansys

We're playing around with the Advance Formativ Persoanl emailer
and presentation pack. In doing so creating some basic htm
templates. Trying this from MS word stinks as most would likely
know, so in an attempt at Novells latest version of open office
seems to work better as far as creating the template and them
using with Advansys.


That said, after the fact I figured I'd using the "change folders"
utility in XP Pro I figured I'd set the default editor for htm and
html to swriter. However when I do so I cannot open the documents.
Swriter errors suggest file does not exist, path does not exists
etc etc and on and on.

Is there a way to set open office as the default editor on my PC
for these file types that works?

Thanks for your input.

cheers

Well figured maybe adding the paths to the location of the
template files I'm creating /editing in oo2 might help the issue
but it doesn't. The problem seems to be that Novell's version of
open office when open and it attempts to open a file, looks to
C:\NOvell\documents and settings......

This is dumb. Its the same issue with document integrations and
this application. I cannot believe I'm the only one having these
issues with Oo from Novell on windows.

Forgot to mention, when you click File Open in swriter, and try to
browse to  a templates folder under documents and
settings\username\... the dialog is unable to display. In fact it
doesn't display much under the root of "C:" at all even though I
am the administrator of this PC and can browse freely in explorer.
Bizzare setup this is...just bizzare.
