First - Please lower your caps. You're making it very difficult to read your
responses. Plus caps are considered yelling.
You said you and your MSI person tried to change your file associations. How
did you do this and what's an MSI person?

Yes, I installed office professional edition 2003 and i can see & use
Microsoft Office Wood 2003 from my programs list.
DOES NOT WORK WHEN YOU SEND ME A .DOC ATTACHMENT TO MY E-MAIL - THE
DEFAULT
IS SET FOR
WORDPAD & IT OPENS IN WORDPAD (GIBBERISH STUFF). THE ONLY WAY I CAN OPEN
IT IS TO SAVE IT TO MY DOCUMENTS AND GO & OPEN MSWORD 2003 AND LOOK FOR
THE
DOCUMENT. ALSO, ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS IF I HAD A DOCUMENT IN MSWORD AND SAVE
IT
TO MY DESKTOP IT IS SAVED AS A WORDPAD DOC.

Hi,
I am having a big problem. I just installed Microsoft Office
Professional
Edition 2003 on my new Dell Inspiron 1501 pre loaded with Vista and
I
am
unable to associate a file type to open up with winword. I cannot
get
the
icon to go into recommended programs or other programs. I need big
time
help. I had my MSI guy look at this & he was unable to do anything.
We
did
a Microsoft update and it still does not work. We tried to drag the
icon
to
the open with file & it still did not work.
