Description of problem: Calc doesn't seem to be properly associated with MS Excel (.xls) files. To reproduce this, you'll obviously need a .xls file. Google for '.xls'. When you right-click on a .xls file in Nautilus, the default might actually be 'Open with "OpenOffice.org Calc"' - ignore that. Right-click on the file, and go to 'Properties'. Click 'Open With'. There isn't anything there. Next send the file to yourself as an attachment with Evolution. When you click on the little arrow on the attachment to get a context menu, the only option is 'Save as...'. 'application/vnd.ms-excel' probably just needs to be added to /usr/share/applications/redhat-spreadsheet.desktop . Also, it looks like ooimpress is missing powerpoint. If MS has some sort of 'drawing' format, oodraw needs that too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-10
This is fixed already in redhat-menus, new builds of OOo later than 1.1.2-12 that get built into 4E will have this taken care of. Please check out 1.1.2-14.6.EL4 that's in /mnt/redhat/dist/4E. (The problem was twofold: redhat-menus provides the actual .desktop file, but OOo was using 'cp' on that file rather than making a symlink, hence the need for a rebuild. The current 4E redhat-menus has the fix, and so should the current OOo.)
