On a fresh sarge install, clicking on a .doc file in MS Word format
yeilds a message that there is no app associated with that extension
and offers to let me add one.

Strangely, there is an association shown for .doc files in the file
types and programs manager. But it seems it does not work.

If I go through the process of adding an association for .doc files,
then I end up with two things listed in the file types and programs manager
for those files, and it works.

This installation included OOo, which is probably the right program for
these files.
