Helen Patchett 0 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Hi, not sure if anyone can help. I use OpenOffice and save my documents into Evernote from my Windows laptop. When I try and open the documents in my Android tablet Evernote opens them using OfficeSuite7. I want to tell Evernote to use AndrOPen Office instead. Does anyone know how I do that?
Evernote Expert gazumped 12,637 Posted November 30, 2015 Evernote Expert Posted November 30, 2015 Hi. That's not an Evernote preference. Have a look at OfficeSuite7 in Android > Application Manager and scroll down to the defaults. I think you should find OS7 is the default 'handler' for files of certain types. Clear those settings, and next time you open a file you should have a choice to use OS7 or AndrOPen 'just once' or all the time. Choose 'all the time' and that should solve the problem.
Helen Patchett 0 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Hi there, thanks for that but it still isn't working, probably because I can't find application manager under Android! And on the files that I can choose AndrOpen instead of OS7, it doesn't open anywhere! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Alan V0N 0 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I have a similar problem on my android (Samsung Galaxy S5e). I have saved a Microsoft Word doc from my computer into Evernote, but I can't view it on my tablet. Whenever I try to view it I get a pop up that says "Install OfficeSuite FREE to open this document". When the document is just saved as a file on my tablet, it opens with the default app, Word, which is part of Office 365. I had OfficeSuite FREE at one time, but removed it, and I can't find any reference to it in my tablet settings. Anyway, the bottom line seems to be that Evernote can no longer open my Word docs :(

Suggest you check with your tablet service provider and the Android forums - when you find an answer, please share! If I can find one I'll share it back here.
