Default default programs

Hi, this is very simple to do. Assuming that you have Windows Vista or 7 this
is what you must do:

Open up any folder that contains a document you wish to load with Word.
Right click on that file and select "Open With" and click on " Choose Default
Program." You can browse for a list of programs and choose Word in there.

If that option does not show up when you right click on your document there
is a second way. Right click on the document and click on "Properties." A new
windows with the file properties should appear, click on "Change" and that
will show another window which will enable you to choose a default program.

Hope this information helps you. Please let me know to see how it went.

We have a new computer which did not come with Office. We bought Office and
installed it. When using Word, and trying to access a wordperfect doc it
trys to open Works. When I try to change the default to Word, Word does not
appear in the list of default programs.

How do I add Word and the other Office products to the list of default
programs?
