Nisus Writer Express and mail attachments

Post by pkvogt »

Nisus Writer Express has inserted itself as the default application that opens all text email attachments. I would like to retain Microsoft Word for the email attachments. How can I change these preferences? I did not find any relevant information in the Nisus, Word or Mail preferences.

Hi, pkvogt.

You can do this in the finder. I'm not sure how it works in your e-mail client. It's an OS function rather than a function of either program, which is probably why the documentation didn't tell you what you needed to know.

Control-click on an icon of the file type you want to open with Microsoft Word in the Finder. (This might work in your e-mail client, too.) A context menu should appear. Hold down the option key, then move your pointer to the menu item that says "Always Open With." A side menu should appear with a list of applications. Keeping the option key pressed, click on the application that you want as the default application for that file time.
