    After a Sequoia update, has anyone else had to manually set Word and Excel as the default apps for opening .docx and .xlsx files?

    As per the subject line; neither Word nor Excel were recognised as standard apps for these file types and I had to do it manually (and against the advice that it wasn't known that these apps would open these files). I have had to do this on more than one machine, both with Intel (i7) and Mac...
