I had no idea what section to post this but here we are. There is a really annoying issue that has plagued this application for years. When you uninstall Open Office it decides to completely remove the new rich text document context menu entry, it also makes it very hard to fix, if you Google how to add it back all the of posts will not help. Please fix this.

Uninstall process is not the responsibility of Open Office but at your operating system.

If you loose file association, you must recreate it with another program by yourself.

I am not sure if we could have an influence on this. Do not forget our installers and uninstallers are pretty basic at this moment.
