Good morning JAMF Nation, My scripting-fu is not very strong and I am trying to figure out a way to set the default program for .docx files to Word 2010. I am guessing that one of you have a script for this already (hopefully). I am going to mess with composer to see if I can get it done by monitoring system changes, but who knows. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

This is set in the launchservices.plist, but honestly you'd be better off looking into duti for this as it handles this much easier.

Also, I'm guessing you meant Word 2011, since 2010 is the Windows version, right?

Edit: looks like there was never an entry for duti in the 3rd Party Products section here, so I just created one to make it easier to find: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/viewProduct.html?id=397&view=info
