How to set default programs???

How to set default programs?

An example: when I click on a .doc it opens in TextEdit, but I want it to open with NeoOffice (to make that happen now requires right-click>open with>NeoOffice)

How can I set NeoOffice as the default program for .doc, .xls, .ppt?

And set default programs for other files?

Thanks.

Mac Mini Intel 2Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Select a .doc and go File -> Get Info

In the resulting window you'll see a pane called Open With... Select your preference from the Drop Down. To make the new app default for all these types, click 'Change All...'
