Enter This command in terminal
sudo -H gedit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
Search for your office:
find /usr/share/applications/ -name *office*
Then change libreoffice-writer.desktop to your search result.
Add these line if they don't exist
application/csv=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/excel=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/msexcel=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/msword=libreoffice-writer.desktop
text/rtf=libreoffice-writer.desktop
text/spreadsheet=libreoffice-calc.desktop
text/tab-separated-values=libreoffice-calc.desktop
text/x-comma-separated-values=libreoffice-calc.desktop
You can set any application as default.
