how do you make pages default document reader

Hi
I have just started using pages and i cant seem to work out how to make it the default application to open up the many documents i have.
Every time i open a document it opens in textedit, i know that you can choose in properties with which program to open it with, but i am getting really fed up of doing this.
is there any way to make pages the default instead of textedit program.

p.s I used to use MS office but i cant be bothered to reinstall it and most of my docs are .doc (office format)

mac book, Mac OS X (10.5)

kb,

You can set .doc files to open in Pages, and it’s surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it’'s not in the menu). To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button.

You can do the same thing with other types of files, like RTF or plain text.
