Change from XL as default

How do I change my iMac default settings so xls/xlsx files automatically open in something like LibreOffice instead of Excel?

File associations changed from Excel to NeoOffice When I updated my Mac Mini's OS from Mojave to Catalina, all my Excel files now open from NeoOffice by default. How can I change all my many Excel files' attributes back so that I don't have to use the Open With command every time I open an Excel file?

Program setting itself as default for MS Office files without asking I found a free office suite in the Apple App Store, WPS Office. So, it being free, I downloaded it. I also have SoftMaker Free Office and LibreOffice installed. I do not have MS Office but need to open Word or Excel files on occasion. After installing WPS Office, it made itself the default program to open MS Office files, taking over from LibreOffice. It didn’t even ask if I wanted this to happen. So I contacted the WPSO support team and was told this: ---------------- Sorry for that we cannot change it, because it depends on Apple system. Apple system makes the latest downloaded program as default program. ---------------- Is this true, that the latest program becomes the default because of the design/programming of macOS? Yes, I know how to change the defaults and have done so, but would this mean that if I download another word processor I would have to change it again? Not a big deal, just seems to me to be an unusual thing for Apple to do. I am using Catalina on an MBAir, but I don't think this question is limited to my case.

How to keep excel files like numbers after rebooting. I use iWork and Mac OS version of Office as well on my MacBook pro 16 inch, and I always need to have bunch of files opened all the time as reference in my work, so I hate to reopen them one by one when sometimes I have to reboot my MacBook. I found that no matter how many pages, keynote, or numbers files I opened, they will automatically start after I reboot my computer, but not so much with word, ppt, or excel. So is there a way to also open office files just like iWork files after rebooting?

Pretty simple to do:

Select a file and type Command + I and you will see something like:

Then change the default app to what you want. You will need to do this with each of the file types you want to change.
