Today, in following a web page link in Firefox 1.5 I clicked on the name of 
a .doc file. This led to a dialogue box offering me choices to:
1. open with openoffice.org 1.1
2. other program
3. save to disk

Now that I've upgraded to OO.o 2 that's what I'd like to use. As far as I can 
see I need to browse to the binary for this program then make it the default. 
But the file browser window that comes up has no option to view files 
starting with . So what do I need to do here?

uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 #1 Fri Oct 21 03:46:55 EDT 2005
