Title:
  .pptx and .docx are by default opened by Archive Manager

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 11.10,
  nautilus 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5

  .pptx and .docx are by default set to open with Archive Manager. If a
  file is downloaded and directly opened, this can cause confusion for
  some. This occurred after the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 and was not the
  case before the upgrade. This is a major inconvenience for me and -
  I'm sure - many others, though it is easy to manually fix by right
  clicking on the file, going to properties -> open with -> click the
  radio button for LibreOffice -> set as default (near the bottom-left
  of the window).

  Office 2007+ files are being opened by Archive Manager by default as
  opposed to being opened by LibreOffice, which one would expect.

  P.S. I would like to actually solve my first bug report, so some
  guidance would be appreciated if it's an easy fix ;)
