I've recently installed Zorin linux 9.1.
The problem is when I try to open doc file, IT gives me only option to open with text editor and not with libre office which installed.
How can I fix it?

At work but if you right-click and select 'Open with..' you should get a dialog box to choose another program that is on the system and to check mark a box on same interface to 'open similar items with this application in future'. :D

That's a bit more advanced for me - can you not download the spreadsheet or is this some sort of online 'interactive' spreadsheet? :D
