How to make Abiword default in 11.10?

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 592 / 3 Years ago, thu, may 20, 2021, 5:46:57

In earlier releases I could do that by right-clicking on a document file, going to Properties -> Open With and selecting Abiword, but in 11.10 I can't see Abiword as an option. How can I now make it the default application for opening my doc/docx files?
