Default word viewer

I allow the auto updates and have never had that happen, nor have I heard of
that happening to anyone else. That doesn't mean it couldn't have happened -
it's a new one to me.

I recieved word viewer from one of the automatic MS updates, I did't ask
for
it. I had Word first.

I have to ask - why do you have both the veiwer and Word installed? If
you
have Word, you don't need the viewer and I *assume* that if you had the
viewer first that installing Word would override any associations for the
viewer.

Assuming you actually have Word, change the file associations.
