Trouble opening ODT schedule in something besides Microsoft Word - CottageSchool - 12-09-2021

Hi! I could use some guidance on opening a schedule in editable ODT format. I try to "right click" so I can open in another format (I would like to use my Open Office 4 Apache). However, it always defaults back to microsoft word and I am unable to open and do not want a microsoft word account. I have been walked through this in the past but it seems to get more difficult to do this. Any help for this technically challenged mom?

It's probably a setting on your computer that determines which program opens each file type. Have you tried downloading the file, then manually opening it in OpenOffice?

What if you open Open Office and then try to open the file from there?

Thank you, thank you both. Some combination of both of your answers helped me do this. I didn't even have to ask my husband for help this time. Thank you very much!
