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?
