This sounds like the issue I ran into today, replacing OpenOffice.org (3.3,
from go-oo, as I recall) with LibreOffice 3.5. I installed the latter before
uninstalling the former (which may have been a mistake). Now, LibreOffice is
not associated with .odt, .ods, etc.—and it is not even presented as an option
in the Open With… dialog.

http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=42104
suggests that this may be to do with stale “soffice.exe” etc. entries in the
registry. As someone not exactly au fait with Windows, I'm not sure what extra
information would be most helpful.
