17 Look in ~/.local/share/applications. I've had good luck configuring
18 default file handling applications by adding/modifying files in this
19 directory. You'll also want to make sure that your ~/.mime.types or the
20 global /etc/mime.types file contains a proper entry associating the
21 filename extension with a MIME type of application/msword.
