If repairing doesn't work, then try right-clicking a .doc file in Windows
Explorer, choose Open With - Choose Default Program.

Does that mean run a Diagnostic, because I did that already and it says
there
are no problems found. I'm not getting any sort of message telling me
that
something is wrong. So what specifically should I do?

I can't see to set up Word 2007 as my systems default program for
opening a .doc file. I assume its tied to the new file format. But
its really annoying when I open a .doc file off the internet or
through an attachment, and I am being asked to pick a program for
Windows to open this file...Pick a program? Come on...I try to pick
winword 2007 but will not allow it. It doesn't appear in the choices
box and when browsing to it, I can select it but it never works.
What is up with that? This is an issue concerning saving a file in
the .doc format. Its about opening a .doc file. I can save the file
to my computer and then open Word 07, click open and select the file
from there, and it works. But if I close it down, and just try to
double click the file at its location, it puts the question to me
again about what program. Please help.
