Question

I have not upgraded my Microsoft Office to operate in OS 10.7.2.

Thus to open a word or excel document I must first open Pages or Numbers then find the document and it will open.

To move to another document I must start over.

How can I set a default that always opens the Word or Excel document directly with Pages or Numbers?

iPhone 4S, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

To set as default, select a word document then press "Command + i", this will show you an option window.

There will be a tab called "Open with:", and a drop down window.

Press the drop down window and then select pages and then click Change All.

Now all the word document will open with pages.

Do the same for other MS Office documents.

Hope it helps.
