Bug Description
Received a docx file from a friend and tried to open it. The default application is for Archive Manager to open it. There is also no right click open to open with Abiword.
Abiword opened the file adequately although I never saw the original so don't know about any changes in formatting.
This problem was in the latest version of Xubuntu (12.10) with packages fully up to date on the machine.
This would be very frustrating to a new or inexperienced user.
