This is very similar to the question I had asked regarding opening a
TeX file in Edit and not in TeXView. Since saying similar problems
have similar solutions is true here. I will post the solution of a
couple of people who sent me the soltion to give them the credit.
SUBSTITUTE .wn FOR .tex and it should work
Here is the solution mailed to me by Dimitri, Similar solutins were
posted
by others
Open inspector when opening a .tex file. Press command-3. Click on
Edit
and press Set Default button. Now all .tex files will open in Edit.

One more solution posted by Rob Davis
Other options:
- Bring up the Tools Inspector and double click the
application that you want to open the file. This doesn't
change
the default.
- Drag the file to the Edit icon (in your Dock or somewhere on
the screen) while holding down the Command key and drop
the
file onto the Edit icon. Edit will try to open the file.
