open-office intrusiveness

can anyone tell me how to get Open Office NOT to attempt to open all Word
documents I download by default in Ubuntu? I use Crossover Office by
Codeweaver with MS Office to run Word 2000 (works well), and when I
attempt to download a Word document from my Yahoo briefcase to work on,
Open Office grabs it and fouls up the download. I don't know how to stop
it. I just want the document downloaded to my home directory as I was
accustomed to. I recall having a similar problem a while back when I
installed Open Office in Windows--it made itself the default word document
handler and would try to open all documents that downloaded. This has to
do with the system-wide installation of OO 1.1.2, as I have OO 1.1.4
installed in my home directory, which I use and which is not intrusive.
Thanks,
Don J.
