Sure, you can use Word’s Open command (as long as you set the Enable pop-up menu in its Open dialog box to All Readable Documents), but Word isn’t running yet, and you’re looking at the document’s icon in your Downloads folder. Open With: Just this document, just this timeĪ friend has e-mailed a rough draft of a document created in TextEdit and saved in Rich Text (.rtf) format. And, if you’re working in OS X 10.5 (Leopard), where a double-clicked file always looks for its creator instead of a pinch-hitter, these commands are still very useful when you want to open documents with something other than their parent applications. The Open With command and its variations let you temporarily override, or completely reassign, where your documents open-as long as you choose an application that knows how to interpret the document’s information.
Whether or not you like Snow Leopard’s new approach, you can always control which application opens a file.
