Can anybody help me learn how to set a default application for opening documents? I have NeoOffice on my Mac and want it to be the default application for opening documents. Currently even if I create a document in NeoOffice and go to open it later it will open in TextEdit. Sometimes things will open in TextEdit and then NeoOffice will pop open and open the same document. I don't want to use TextEdit at all. I have looked for a place to set a default application in in OSX.4.11 and can not locate it anywhere, Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Find a file you want opened with a specific application.

Click once on it to highlight it and then press Apple+i (or under File menu select Get Info)

In the info box there is an option for Open with ... Application and select the one you want and click the box to make it for all files of that type.
