Right-click (or Control-click) on the document, then hold down Option 
and Open With will change to Always Open With. Then you can select from 
the applications in the list or use Other.. to select the appropriate 
one. Launch Services handles which application claims which file, but 
I'm not sure how to go about changing it. You could try moving the 
com.apple.Launchservices.plist out of your ~/Library/Preferences 
folder, then logout or restart to see if it rebuilds appropriately.
