Default Word 2007 does not open .doc files automatically

Have you tried repairing the installation?

No that did not change anything. Word docs still open with wordpad

I have recently upgraded from word 2003 to word 2007. Since doing that
all
my
old .doc files will not open when I click on them. I have tried using
the
set
default program option but it does not let me save word as the default
program. The only way I can currently open word docs is by having word
2007
open and using the open file option. Any ideas?
