I recently replaced Open Office with Libre Office. Even though I have the association for .doc / .docx files set in Windows to open with MS Office. When I do a simple open in Bridge (CS6) they keep opening wiht Libre Office. How can I get the open in Bridge back to where we open with MS Office?

    In Bridge CS6 go to Edit>Preferences>File Type Associations to set MS Office to open .doc / .docx files from bridge.

    I would love to do it this way, but the microsoft file types do not show up in the list so Bridge is apparently accessing them from some other place that I cannot access or see.

    Your right that those doc/docx files aren't listed in the bridge file associations.

    Bridge should use the windows settings in this case.

    In windows if you right click on one of the doc or docx files, click on Properties and under the General tab use Change Opens With:

    does that work?
